@Blarnix Did you have this issue before MacOS 15 Sequoia?

I didn't use VeraCrypt before Sequoia.

Thank you for the report.

Support for hardware AES on ARM64 platforms (like Apple Silicon Mx) was missing.

I have just implemented it and I will share a beta version of testing.

AES support now included in VeraCrypt since version 1.26.18
