Hello
After Windows wakes up from sleep mode, I have to manually mount the Veracrypt storage medium again.
What can I do so that the mounted storage media remain mounted despite the energy-saving mode?

I'm not familiar with Windows, but maybe you could create a Powershell script to mount yout volume. Then make it automatically execute after login from sleep mode. Just an idea.

I've been thinking about doing this with a script, too. But can't you do that with Veracrypt on-board resources? Is a Script required?
There is an Option in Veracrypt-Settings: "Mount all disk volumes after user login." However, if I activate this option, the volumes are still not mounted after waking up.
Greets, too.

I noticed that after waking up the computer, both Veracrypt storage media (2 SSDs) are accessible, but not all folders or folder levels. Isn't that weird? Or is the problem known?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The option you're looking for is under Settings > Preferences > Auto-Dsimount. Uncheck all but Users log off and you can resume from sleep/hibernation with the volumes still mounted. These have been around for a long time. No script needed.

Hello
The auto-dismount options are all set as you suggested (attachment). The Veracrypt media are displayed in Windows Explorer after the PC wakes up, including the top folder level. However, when I click on a folder in this top level, the message appears: The specified device cannot be accessed. It seems to me the problem isn't with the mount, it's something else.

It's strange yours isn't behaving as designed in spite of the right settings. Not sure if this is related, but try enabling Mount Volumes as Removable Media in the settings. This is recommended anyway for a few other benefits as detailed here: https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Removable%20Medium%20Volume.html
If that doesn't work try creating a new Veracrypt volume and/or reinstalling VC and see if the issue persists. No matter what you do make sure you have backups (encrypted or not).
I see you've enabled password caching but not PIM. Again, not sure how that would play out if you have PIM enabled but not cached upon auto-mount.
Beyond this it's the realm of the developers, I'm afraid. Maybe @enigma2illusion can chime in?

Based on your screenshot of the VeraCrypt Preferences, the only suggestion I can offer is to uncheck the under Settings > Preferences > Auto-Dismount > User logs off setting.
