You don't need to do any of this.

If your drive is not encrypted, then this won't save you. It takes time to overwrite files and if your computer were the target of any adversary, they would simply unplug it immediately and then image it.

If your drive is encrypted, then you can just overwrite the headers that contain the key slots. This would take hundredths of a second.

Curious choice to write a c++ program for this instead of doing the same thing in a powershell script.

One feature it should have: delete itself after running to leave no traces of such a tool.

That was my first thought, why is this not written in a scripting language. Any one.

Cool but it's windows... If you're going to be serious about privacy there's a lot more that needs to be done, like switching to a Linux distro.

Since we’re discussing Windows privacy here…

What I’d really like is something that creates a situation like VeraCrypt plausible deniability, but where the base image gets updated regularly so that the timestamps and temporary file usage also look plausible for a computer used today.

Then instead of running an app like this, you just log out, and when you log in with the wrong password, it presents a plausible if mostly empty userland that overwrites the real encrypted data as new files are written to disk.
