Windows 10 1903 not offered, VeraCrypt as a root cause

Users who are not offered the upgrade to Windows 10 version 1903 often puzzle over the cause of the upgrade blocker. It could be a hard disk encrypted with VeraCrypt.

VeraCrypt supports now Windows 10 feature updates (I had written something about this in the blog post Windows 10: ReflectDrivers Setup Option for In-Place-Upgrade on encrypted media). But a hard disk encrypted with VeraCrypt can be the reason that no feature update is offered.

If you are not offered Windows 10 version 1903, try disabling hard drive encryption #windows10 #windows #updatehttps://t.co/8F99p3mFfL pic.twitter.com/g7qfwLWVMR
