Windows 11 with Core isolation disabled: "diagnosing your PC" bootloop #80

Just to report my personal experience:

Recent, pretty clean Windows 11 installation in new Intel NUC PC.
Core isolation is already disabled because of other software needing it. Double checked before installing diskcryptor anyway.
After installation, system bootloops with "diagnosing your PC" message first and "can't boot Windows" message after that.
After that I only can push "reboot" or "advanced options".
I figured out that driver was causing problems with driver signature enforcement, so I tried booting disabling that enforcement. System booted correctly, and I uninstalled the program.

This is to be expected, there will soon be build 1.3 out and it should get a driver signed for modern windows versions.

My apologies, as per reading your readme,

We have updated DiskCryptor for use with windows 10 and 11,

My understanding led me to believe that this software was able to run properly (with no hacks, I mean) in a Windows 11 computer.

If that's not the case, I'd kinly suggest to clearly state that in readme until you are able to provide a signed driver. A less experienced user could end up with an unusable computer because of that, IMHO, misleading information.
