Hello ,

I usually use an USB key that contains a container encrypted with TrueCrypt_7.1a.
This allows me to store my sensitive files: personal files and Outlook .pst archives.
This allows me to have a mobile office, to assign a letter to the virtual reader, and to install portable applications with PortableApps or Liberkey.

Today I have to go from Windows 7 to Windows 10 with limited user rights due to Windows 7 maintenance shutdown.
And I have problems accessing this TrueCrypt container on Windows 10.
To resolve this problem, I have, as a precaution, recreated a new VeraCrypt container in Windows 10 beforehand.
Then I plugged my USB key on the PC under Windows 7 in order to transfer all my files from TrueCrypt to VeraCrypt.
So far so good.
Finally I dismantled my key for reconnecting it under Windows 10.
And I meet various problems as with TrueCrypt to access the elements in this new container created under Windows 10.
After 1-2 minutes on Windows 10:

  • some accesses to sub-directories are blocked.
  • my Outlook archive files placed in the container are no longer accessible via Outlook.
  • the container seems damaged in Windows 10 because I have to do a maintenance operation when I return to Windows 7.

I do not know if my concerns come from:

  • an incompatibility between VeraCrypt and Windows 10?
  • a certificate problem? It is to avoid this concern that I had however recreated the container under Windows 10.
  • a lack of rights on my computer?
  • a lack of rights to USB access?

Maybe someone has already encountered these symptoms?
If someone has an idea ? something to test?
Thank you in advance.
