Bad news for VeraCrypt with KB5018496
On this one system with KB5018496 install you run VeraCrypt click select file.. and it just hangs or freezes uninstall KB5018496 and it then works fine.
I have gone to the trouble of new windows install with new version to USB and still its a problem yet I have two other systems that run VeraCrypt fine with KB5018496 ! My main system has a MegaRAID SAS 9361-8i could that be the reason?
Thanks if any one can help

Legacy1 I don't have this problem, but before reinstalling, you should try patching the operating system, or running some updaters (if you have Windows 11 22H2 installed.) I would also disable "Suggested Actions" first:
1.) Select Start > Settings > System > Clipboard > Suggested actions > Off
2.) Create a folder like this: "C:\Patches\Win11\22H2"
3.) Use the following links to download these patches and save them to this folder: "C:\Patches\Win11\22H2"

for major releases, or when you upgrade the operating system ( I don't mean installing updates, ) you should disable secure boot first, before you start the upgrade process, and then decrypt the system drive. That's the #1 thing. Once you finish installing the operating system, you have to install the latest motherboard (chipset) drivers, graphics drivers, etc. At this point you can encrypt the system drive, store the rescue disk in a safe place, and any other drives should have the volume headers for each drive backed up as well, which that should be stored for safekeeping. ( MAKE SURE you have backups of your files as well. )

This have nothing to do with that when KB5018496 is installed run VeraCrypt and click select file.. the app hangs or freezes but only on this one system that has been reinstalled.
You have GOT to be KIDDING ME!
I found the reason and you are never going to believe it I mean I had a theory but WOW.
So I have a ProArt Z690-CREATOR WIFI but need more USB so I got this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0989Z453Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And I thought I use that for keyboard and mouse along come KB5018496 VeraCrypt click select file.. and it just hangs or freezes so I moved my keyboard and mouse to the motherboard back USB IO installed KB5018496 and now VeraCrypt works fine!
So I can only think MS have done something to the front USB
