Hey I love dumping on my company as much as the next guy, because Microsoft does some dumb stuff, but sometimes it's just check emails and verify your accounts. Not every "WTF micro$oft" moment is a slam dunk. I've emailed VeraCrypt personally and we'll get him unblocked. I've already talked to Jason at WireGuard. Not everything is a conspiracy, sometimes it's literally paperwork.

Just Microsoft things... Recently they terminated the VeraCrypt developer's Microsoft account. VeraCrypt is a free and open-source disk encryption software that performs on-the-fly encryption (OTFE) to create virtual encrypted disks, encrypt partitions, or secure entire storage devices.

They never call on the agreed upon time. The callback number goes to an AI agent that doesn't understand that you are responding to their call then hangs up on you. We don't understand how anyone can do serious business with this company.

Issue not resolved and dealing Microsoft support was an awful experience. They refused to communicate by email and insisted on talking on phone. Each time having to "reschedule". Finally caught the call and it was just to tell us they can't find our account and closed the issue.

We finally got kernel signing last year after many escalations. But after hearing the horror stories from @OSRDrivers and VeraCrypt we went to check on our account... and it's gone. We literally cannot login into Partner portal to file a support request. Can someone help?
