Hi,
My machine was working fine until the latest update.
Machine: Windows 11 home, Acer PC i-5; was windows 10 purchased in December 2021 and did the update. Encrypted with veracrypt
Problem: Upon June 2022 update, it restarted automatically and could never load. Goes into "device ran into a problem and needs to restart: inaccessible boot device"
Originally loader veracypt boot loader, then after password shows "success" then goes into error screen.
I removed encryption in the hard drive (drive is working in other computers). Think i removed veracrypt boot loader (it doesn't show any more).
Now: Loads through Acer startup screen, then goes into blue device ran into a problem "Inaccessible boot device".
Tried:
1. decrypted the drive and the drive works in other computers.
2. Working drives from other computers (sata or pcie) won't boot the computer that had windows 11, but will boot other computers.
3. Removed boot loader from boot options
4. Reset bios settings (UEFI cannot be changed)
5. Tried some command prompt instructions for looking for backup files to restore them, didn't find them
6. All the repair options do nothing: repair windows, startup repair, uninstall updates, system restore.
7. Loaded with Windows USB and tried all repair options, no difference.
8. Loaded Veracypt USB loader (select UEFI USB disk), the following did not do anything: remove veracrypt from load menu, decrypt, (boot veracypt loader from rescue disk is Not Found_ (have not tried restore OS header keys; boot original windows loader - moves back to same error
Any ideas and help is much appreciated.
