<meta name="description" content="VeraCrypt is free open-source disk encryption software for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. In case an attacker forces you to reveal the password, VeraCrypt provides plausible deniability. In contrast to file encryption, data encryption performed by VeraCrypt is real-time (on-the-fly), automatic, transparent, needs very little memory, and does not involve temporary unencrypted files."/>

<h1>Release Notes</h1>

<p>

<strong>Note to users who created volumes with 1.17 version of VeraCrypt or earlier: </strong><br/>

<span style="color:#ff0000;">To avoid hinting whether your volumes contain a hidden volume or not, or if you depend on plausible deniability when using hidden volumes/OS, then you must recreate both the outer and hidden volumes including system encryption and hidden OS, discarding existing volumes created prior to 1.18a version of VeraCrypt.</span></li>

</p>

<p><strong style="text-align:left">1.25.9</strong> (February 19^th, 2022):</p>

<ul>

<li><strong>All OSes:</strong>

<ul>

<li>Update translations (Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Turkish).</li>

</ul>

</li>

<li><strong>Windows:</strong>

<ul>

<li>Make MSI installer compatible with system encryption.</li>

<li>Set minimum support for MSI installation to Windows 7.</li>

<li>Fix failure to create Traveler Disk when VeraCrypt is installed using MSI.</li>

<li>Don't cache the outer volume password when mounting with hidden volume protection if wrong hidden volume password was specified.</li>

<li>Reduce the size of EXE installers by almost 50% by using LZMA compression instead of DEFLATE.</li>

<li>Fix double-clicking mounted drive in VeraCrypt UI not working in some special Windows configurations.</li>

<li>Add registry key to fix BSOD during shutdown/reboot on some machines when using system encryption.

<ul>

<li>Under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\veracrypt", create a REG_DWORD value named "VeraCryptEraseKeysShutdown".</li>

<li>Setting this registry value to 0 disables erasing system encryption keys which is the cause of BSOD during shutdown on some machines.</li>

<li><strong>Linux:</strong>

<ul>

<li>Fix hidden volume settings not correctly displayed when enabling hidden volume protection in mount options window.</li>
