Microsoft Abruptly Terminates VeraCrypt Account, Halting Windows Updates

PurpleDime: > That’s too technical for me to understand. ok…maybe think of it like this…VeraCrypt makes a small helper (the bootloader and drivers) that must run before Windows. Microsoft acts like a guardian who only lets helpers run if they have a special badge (a digital signature). VeraCrypt asks Microsoft for that badge so Windows will trust and run its helper. Without the badge, Windows blocks the helper and VeraCrypt can’t work properly.
