Can you try something other than an SD card?

Sadly in my cheap laptop this is the "HDD"

Might be a bad SD card.
It does not make any sense for enabled encryption to trigger this behavior.

Only problem is Windows worked fine and this is my main memory (cheap laptop)

The new install might have just exposed the problem. Or the memory might have gotten bad in the meantime.
In any case I would boot a live USB and try to completely overwrite the storage with DD and then try to completely read it with DD.
Chances are you will encounter the same read problems in the same places.

I reinstalled Windows and it still works... So you suggest cloning the USB drive to the "HDD" and installing from there? How would I do that? (The cloning part)

What I'm saying is: You should test your drive by running badblocks.
Of course it is possible that it is fine and it is just linux mishandling the drive, but I can't think of any solution in that case.

I posted here. Didn't figure it out yet...

I had problems installing Manjaro with encryption enabled. It worked without this but booted into this screen. Can someone help me?
Can you fsck? If yes, then go fsck now!
I'll try later today.
"No filesystem type specified" what kind of problems did you have?
It said it isn't able to write the partition table
