VeraCrypt keeps changing my bootloader order

[idrassi]

@damjes Thank you for sharing your experience and for your important remarks.

First of all, there is a new feature that was added in 1.24 to solve issues on
some machines where the BIOS would remove our entry in boot menu and/or
remove VeraCrypt bootloader from disk. Now, before every shutdown or
reboot, we ensure that VeraCrypt boot configuration is preserved
otherwise we set it again.

But we have added a registry key that allows disabling this mechanism:
using Windows RegEdit, browse to the key
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VeraCryptSystemFavorites\",
you will find a REG_DWORD value named "VeraCryptSystemFavoritesConfig",
double click on it, set its value to 1 and click OK. After that,
VeraCrypt will not check or fix any change in the boot configuration or
bootloader files content.

Does this fix your issue?

Concerning the documentation, it is indeed lacking EFI mentions. We were waiting for EFI support to be mature and after that we lack time to document it and its many features, especially the various options offered by DcsProp configuration file.

I will try to work in the documentation part in the coming weeks to give more information to users about it. It will also help for bringing testers to new undocumented features of EFI bootloader like graphic mode that supports touch screens for password entry without physical keyboard.
