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

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.
