Okay, this is a little strange, but I'm trying to unlock and access (mount) an container which is itself stored in another virtual drive from Cryptomater. This works on Windows, but on Debian systems, I get an error. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? The error indicates a permissions issue. Thank you!

Hello Mounir, I have the same problem as described here. I am using version 1.26.24 on a laptop with a screen resolution of 3200 x 1800. In the BIOS I can not set anything, so my hope is the configuration of the Boot Loader. Here is a portion of the PlatformInfo file: <graphdevices count="2"> <graphdevice index="0" modes="7" h="3200" v="1800"> <graphmode index="0" h="3200" v="1800"> <graphmode index="1" h="640" v="480"> <graphmode index="2" h="800" v="600"> <graphmode index="3" h="1024" v="768">...

Some practical questions about the most current Windows release, until this situation can be resolved: The current version 1.26.24 is signed with the 2011 CA, which is soon to expire. This will certainly affect secureboot.... but how will this affect mounting non-system volumes (partitions and/or file containers) as a user? Will one have to disable secureboot just to install VeraCrypt, even if not using system encryption? And how will this affect portable use? The same question applies to unsigned...

I just noticed that I have recovery disabled. It seemed to me that it was active before encrypting, or maybe I had already disabled it previously, I don't remember. Do you think it should be enabled or disabled with encrypted System partition ? This is the command to check the status of WinRE: reagentc /info . (reagentc /enable , reagentc /disable) .

How to prevent Windows Update from overwriting UEFI entries and deleting the Veracrypt one ? https://imgur.com/DqIAb2v Windows 11, vc 1.26.27 . This is the second time i have to use the recovery disk to restore the Veracrypt bootloader, because every time there is a Windows Feature Update, the UEFI NVRAM is rewritten and erases the Veracrypt entry. I don't know if this is just me or a common problem (in this case, i think it's a critical issue that needs to be addressed).

I am assuming you used pre-1.26.x software version when you created the VeraCrypt volumes. You will need to use 1.25.9 or older software to mount the volumes due to you are likely using deprecated item(s) that will not work when using 1.26.x version. https://veracrypt.jp/en/Conversion_Guide_VeraCrypt_1.26_and_Later.html

So I created two veracrypt drives on a Windows 10 computer, both on USBs. One of the usbs is entirely encrypted and the other USB contains an encrypted container. I believe I have the correct passwords for both. Both USBs appear when plugged into a computer, and I can see the encrypted container, copy it, etc. On the computer they were created with they mounted perfectly, but even at the time I created them, I could only open them on the original computer that made them. I believe they were encrypted...

Phoenix posted a comment on discussion General Discussion
I'm really sorry to hear this bad news. Someone probably reported the software, claiming it could be used for illegal activities, which led to the account being deleted. Unfortunately, the general trend is increasingly toward controlling and monitoring what people do, and there is less and less respect for privacy. Is there no way to get around this limitation, even temporarily? Perhaps by restricting the software, for now, to non-system partitions and volumes?

This is a sad turn of events, Mounir! This may seem a bit out in left field (to use an American idiom), but is it possible that some seemingly minor aspect of your recent relocation to Japan is at the root of this inexplicable account revocation? Grasping at straws is a hobby of mine :)

Maybe I should ask here, I tried building the latest Veracrypt from source (git clone) on Linux but still wasn't seeing argon2 options in the GUI. From a cursory glance it looked like argon2 should have been included in the build. Is it just an issue of the options not showing on the gui? I'm on EndeavourOS with KDE and Wayland and kernel 6.19.10, if that matters. Also if argon2 should be there, I'd be more than happy to help test/fix the issue.

In view of this situation, I recommend adding a signature-independent program that provides archive-like creation and extraction functions (without support for real-time modification), so as to cope with highly targeted scenarios.

Sure, thanks for the heads up. I already knew that with modern SSD/NVMe drives, the CPU makes the difference. In fact, i didn't understand why i was having such a dramatic drop in 4K reads, considering i'm using AES.

Performance drop for any SSD and HDDs should not at all because: SSDs is way faster than HDDs in sequential speeds as well as response times. So, in HDDs, the bottleneck is disk performance all the time. But SSDs sequential speeds is too fast for CPU to handle, so CPU is bottleneck here. CPU is not usually involved in performance tests, but when disk is encrypted by software, SPU is always handling it, so you are limited by CPU speed. AES in my case in VeraCrypt's benchmark is above 20GB/s (I have...

Not only EXOS are affected. Different brands, different results. But all have common behavior. If bigger, it's slower. Veracrypt bad write speeds and DiskCryptor writes as unencrypted.

Hello, currently it is only possible to mount devices in Linux by using block device files like /dev/sdb2. But these files tend to change after reboot, so /dev/sdb2 might become /dev/sda2 after a reboot, which makes it impossible to use these paths as favorite volumes in the GUI. Please make it possible to also use links from the /dev/disk/by-id directory, which tend to be stable.

I have now a better understanding of it. This happens because the two systems are booted from the same EFI partition, which also contains the VeraCrypt bootloader, which has priority and cannot be circumvented.

I don't remember if the entire NVMe drive is encrypted or just the system partition (C:). [Edit] Correction, only the system partition C:.

Now I'd like to understand how you folks use Veracrypt, because it's unthinkable to use a program like this without also using some kind of disk imaging program. So, every time you restore a disk image (and this image isn't encrypted because there are no imaging programs that support Veracrypt), the Veracrypt bootloader is still causing problems? Can you explain to me how the developer thinks this problem should be handled ?

Cause of the problem is found: this stupid W11 had decided to mount a shared folder of my NAS as "Y" in the Windows Explorer. I don't why, but W11 did it alone... (maybe during the crash ?). So I have disconnected "Y" from the Windows Explorer, and therefore Veracrypt immediatly presents "Y" as a letter for the crypted folder. consequently: problem solved. Thanks.
-
Veracrypt has been always perfect, but since a serious crash of my PC this afternoon, the letter "Y" that I normally use to mount a crypted folder has disappeared from the letters list : see the attached screen capture. Veracrypt still works fine if choose another letter, "T" for example, but letter after "X" can be selected from the list. How to fix it ??? Thank you

Yes, there are backup files in that folder and others, BUT I think I've figured out the main problem. Veracrypt writes files to the EFI partition and the UEFI NVRAM.

If you then modify the partitions as I did, you also have to go into the BIOS/UEFI and save the configuration with F10. In fact, even using BOOTICE from inside Windows11, the UEFI values still showed a Veracrypt entry...

Hello! I created an encrypted system partition (win10) in a SSD. This partition uses only a third of my SSD space and the rest is left blank and without a file system. I installed windows and proceeded with encryption through VeraCrypt, only the system partition, not the whole drive. I run Mint on another drive ( an HDD) and VeraCrypt in GUI mode inside it. No matter what I do the linux version seems unable to decrypt the windows system encrypted partition, even if all partitions are correctly listed...

Using your browser search feature on the Release Notes to search for the term "bootloader", you will find references to enhancements to fix the VeraCrypt bootloader during MS OS upgrades and fix the missing VeraCrypt bootloader. Maybe the copies of the original MS and VeraCrypt bootloaders are stored in the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\VeraCrypt\ directory. https://veracrypt.jp/en/VeraCrypt%20System%20Files.html

Long story short, due to a failed update, I deleted the Veracrypt encrypted partition, so I restored a previous disk image (1 month ago). I used Paragon Hard Disk Manager. The system works fine. Obviously, I lost file encryption because the image is created from within Windows, and Paragon doesn't support Veracrypt. So every time I restore an image of my system, I also have to re-encrypt everything (but that's another story). Of course, the old disk image also contained the EFI partition with the...

The fundamental problem for me is understanding why a completely clean EFI partition was rewritten by the Veracrypt bootloader, how is this possible ? Veracrypt 1.26.20 had already been uninstalled from the system by that point. Really, guys, how is this possible ? Does Veracrypt create hidden backups somewhere?

Yes, 1.26.20. Thanks for the reply, I had already tried that, before deleting and recreating the EFI partition from scratch. This doesn't work, simply because Veracrypt sends this message (and it's right).: "the system partition/drive does not appear to be encrypted" https://imgur.com/a/JUf4FR2 I didn't want to make it long in the first post, but right after I also tried to use the rescue disk to decrypt the partition (which obviously wasn't encrypted anymore), just to see if it removed the bootloader,...
