Fixing Veracrypt on Windows 10

So you guys care enough about security to use full disk encryption, but block OS security updates? Interesting…

Well anyways, some Windows 10 updates have broken VeraCrypt, in the past the only way around it was to decrypt, update, and then recrypt, however someone posted a script on Github now which can fix it without having to decrypt.

I made a youtube video with step by step instructions and commentary on how to use the script:

The reason was simple. The only use of the machines was for Ethereum mining. Every time Windows would update, or every few days if an update would fail, Windows would try to re-run updates, restart my machines, and shut off my mines. Even though I edited the registries to turn off auto updates and auto restarts.
