v1.26.24 does not choose the correct formatting when creating a new volume

[Baa-meh]

Not a big deal, but v1.26.24 does not choose the correct formatting. When 'large files' are selected in create volume, the default choice becomes Fat32.

On Windows, I cannot replicate your issue.

Test Method:

• Click Create Volume button.
• Create File Container with size set to greater> 4 GB.
• Large Files : No > Results in FAT being the default filesystem.
• Large Files : Yes > Results in exFAT being the default filesystem.

.
Any volume > 2 TB will not get the Large Files screen due to FAT filesystem has a maximum filesystem size of 2 TB.

Ok, that is strange. I'm running Windows 11 Pro 24H2, and suspect some sort of ms 'security' might mess stuff up.
But I tried several times with the same result, the list box did not select the correct item NTFS.

My PC is Windows 10 Pro 64-bit 22H2 with latest OS patches and Windows Defender using VeraCrypt beta 1.26.27 version.

But I tried several times with the same result, the list box did not select the correct item NTFS.

On Windows, the Large Files = Yes has never used NTFS and instead defaults to exFAT since exFAT is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it a popular choice for cross-platform use.

I prefer to use NTFS on Windows due to the advantages NTFS provides over exFAT. You can Google search the two or all three filesystem formats to get Pro/Cons of each type of filesystem.
