    I have recently encountered a problem mounting a (VC Ver. 1.25.9(64-bit)) encrypted volume on my Win10 machine. It is a large AES Volume using up half of the space on the HDD. The only thing that I can think of which may have caused this, is that I mistakenly ran a Optimize and defragmentation on the HDD with the encrypted volume in a unmounted or in its encrypted state. I may even have run an Error checking test, both from the 'tools' tab from the properties option. This all happened before the...

    Some more information. After leaving overnight (power mode set to no sleep or hibernate, just screen saver activated), the issue reappeared. Several folders were showing as empty, even though they do contain files. I tried dismounting the drive (had to force dismount even though I thought all processes accessing the drive were shut down), and re-mounting, but after selecting the device (disk0) and entering the password, I received the error VeraCrypt --------------------------- A device which does...

    Veracrypt full-device volume on Win11 25H2 produces read & write errors

  • Erik Erik posted a comment on discussion General Discussion

    I have a 4TB M.2 NVMe drive that I mount as a device volume in VeraCrypt. I am currently running 1.26.24, but the volume was created using an earlier version of VeraCrypt. The problems are recent and started happening months after upgrading VeraCrypt. When initially-mounted, the drive functions normally, but after a period of time (hours, days, maybe after a few hibernations/sleeps) accessing the drive begins to throw errors. This only started happening a few days ago, and may be associated with...

    Is it normal for a container using Argon2 (default settings) to mount about 7 times faster than a container using SHA-512 PBKDF2 (default settings)? I thought Argon was supposed to be slower.

  • RichardH RichardH posted a comment on discussion Technical Topics

    There is a small detail wrt the security of the defaults, as those tend to weaken over time. A good example is the 2.000 iterations default set by TrueCrypt, which was apparently considered secure at the time. That means, setting a secure default now probably means that it will not be considered secure 10 years from now. Yet you cannot change the defaults as that would impact non-technical users not being able to mount their containers/disks anymore. So over time, all users likely need to use non-default...

  • John R John R posted a comment on discussion Technical Topics

    I would prefer it if PIM was abandoned entirely and instead we could choose the actual parameters for both PBKDF2 and Argon2id, with secure default values for anyone (most people) who doesn't want to change them. I think PIM worked fine when there was only one KDF, but now using PIM for all KDFs is confusing, since it means different things for different algorithms. But it also removes the ability of the user to choose the parameters they prefer. With PBKDF2, PIM allows you to choose almost exactly...

    I decided to upgrade from 1.25.9 to 1.26.24, hoping there would not be any problems. Unfortunately there was a problem though. I could not mount a disk i have. While playing around to see what happens though, i noticed that in the Secure Desktop i use for mounting the disk, there was a difference. In 1.25.9, the Windows Language Selector toolbar was visible, while in 1.26.24 was not. This is an issue for me since i'm using characters in languages other than English.

    For anyone interested, after searching around for several days i reached the conclusion that the underlying file system had somehow become corrupted, so i backed-up everything i could and recreated the disk. I'm still not sure how it happened though (if it was caused by VC or not).

  • Bert Cuzeau Bert Cuzeau posted a comment on discussion General Discussion

    I still have the problem. I'm not sure what I did to recover the capability to preview, but the problem came back, and I can't find the way to unlock. The entire drive is affected. The property (right-click) on a file doesn't show the locking and therefore doesn't offer to unblock the file. The powershell command in admin mode : Get-ChildItem -Path "T:\myMainDir" -Recurse | Unblock-File has no effect. -sigh-

    I tested the exact same VeraCrypt volume on another machine: * MacBook Air M1 (2020) * macOS Sequoia 15.6.1 * VeraCrypt 1.25.9 On this system the volume opens normally using the password that contains the “ä” character.

    CAA can prevent incorrect CAs from issuing VeraCrypt domains and prevent HTTPS man-in-the-middle attacks. Assuming idrassi has always used "LetsEncrypt" as the CA for Veracrypt's SSL, configuring the CAA will be straightforward, as it's a free feature. I also want idrassi to configure CAA, but this would cause additional trouble if they need to replace the CA in the future.

  • Alex R Alex R posted a comment on discussion General Discussion

    To add a bit more info, VeraCrypt by default makes it "hard" for a computer to calculate the key to open the volume from your password (uses what's called a key derivation function, KDF). This serves to limit the rate that a computer can guess passwords, but doesn't stop a person from trying as many passwords as they want. More tech details. https://veracrypt.jp/en/Key%20Derivation%20Algorithms.html

  • Enigma2Illusion Enigma2Illusion posted a comment on discussion General Discussion

    In the future, you can review or search the Release Notes since any limit on the number of password attempts would be listed in the Release Notes. There is no limit to password attempts since VeraCrypt is an open source software which would be easily defeated by simply removing the password login limit code.

Kann VC das in Ubuntu-questing (25.10) existierende canberra-gtk3-module benutzen?

    Hi Tevfik, Great insights The MVP approach you outlined is spot on for efficient XR development. I often find feature creep to be a major hurdle, so I recommend a strict MVP checklist to prioritize core functionality. Testing early with low-fidelity prototypes helps to quickly validate ideas before committing to full development. Additionally, adopting modular design ensures the game remains Forever Updatable, allowing easy content additions without overhauling the entire system. This method keeps...

    Hello VeraCrypt Team, I am writing to report a critical issue when attempting to encrypt the system partition on my new Surface Pro 11 (Snapdragon X Elite). The Problem: I am running the latest version of VeraCrypt on a clean install of Windows 11 Pro (ARM64), fully updated with the latest Surface firmware and drivers. BitLocker is fully disabled (verified via manage-bde -status). The VeraCrypt Pre-Test works perfectly. My keyboard (via Dongle+Adapter) is recognized, I can enter my password, and...

    What is the maximum disk size VC can support? I have created a 3TB container on an external (USB) 3TB disk but when i try to write more than ~2.6 GB, i get a message saying "The requested operation could not be completed due to a file system limitation". The host disk is NTFS, so is the container (no hidden volume). I have VC 1.26.24 but the disk was created with 1.25.9.

    I decided to upgrade from 1.25.9 to 1.26.24, hoping there would not be any problems. Unfortunately there was a problem though. I could not mount a disk i have. While playing around to see what happens though, i noticed that in the Secure Desktop i use for mounting the disk, there was a difference. In 1.25.9, the Windows Language Selector toolbar was visible, while in 1.26.24 was not. This is an issue for me since i'm using characters in languages other than English. After removing the Secure Desktop...

    Hi Mounir I just wanted to mention I've been using the new argon2 KDF and it has been working great, including using a custom PIM. I'm on Windows 11 and the container is 500GB with AES(Twofish(Serpent)).

    Guys, I am working on a project where we create on the go secure C level collaboration rooms, using Veracrypt. I am trying to figure out if Container stored on the cloud could be sync realtime with local container? in other words no manual intervention to backup data to the cloud. Using cloud to sync in progress projects on local machine then moving them to storage after completion. I heard Veracrypt is not an efficient tech for cloud backups because it takes the whole file rather than updated blocks...

    Hello, I recently joined the forum and kinda working on this angle. Was wondering if you were able to get this addressed? Veracrypt secure container backed up to the cloud is what iam working where we use block level sync to address Veracrypt's shortcoming of syncing the whole container. Any feedback would be most appreciated.

    Yes, I'm using the latest version of Windows 11. But now it looks like I'm going to have to give up on using a portable browser inside of a very crypt container. I just tried to open the container that contains my portable Firefox browser, and I'm not able to do so anymore. I'm entering the correct password for the container but it's being rejected every single time. Looks like I'm going to have to start from scratch once again. Either that or I'm just going to have to use a regular browser in the...

    Has anyone ever used the hidden file attribute in Windows on their Veracrypt volume file? Any concerns?
