Not sure if these types of post are allowed here but for those who use portableapps or veracrypt in particular the developer is in need of some assistance to keep the project going.
I'll link the post he made recently regarding the project status below here and if anyone can direct him to the proper channels or provide some helpful information for him, I'm more than sure he and the FOSS community will greatly appreciate it!
TL/DR:
The Devs Microsoft account was terminated without notice, nor without a way to appeal such actions. This plays a crucial role in the development of Veracrypt as its how the Windows binaries and bootloaders were signed. Hopefully someone knows of someone that may help with an appeal or some sort of explanation.

The same thing apparently happened to Wireguard
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Not too familiar with Wireguard but based on the recent Veracrypt Sourceforge forum activity, it appears this may be a common thing with Microsoft as the Dev for Rufus also posted he has had the same issues.
Next.ink (French).
Looks like deliberated, not just an automated bug.

Been reading about this recently, wireguard, windscribe, but apparently there is a resolution in sight.
