    I'm not finding entries in any of my logs from VeraCrypt, nor can I find an option in VeraCrypt preferences to enable/disable.

    My goal is to use a unique event for when a specific favorite volume is mounted as a trigger for a scheduled task, but I'll start with seeing any event(s) in the logs. The only thing I see so far is from the source Ntfs (Microsoft-Windows-Ntfs) which gets 3 entries for ID 98 every time the volume is mounted.

    Event ID 98 Descriptions:
    1. Volume C: (\Device\HarddiskVolume7) is healthy. No action is needed.
    2. Volume \?\Volume{omitted} (\Device\HarddiskVolume8) is healthy. No action is needed.
    3. Volume F: (\Device\VeraCryptVolumeF) is healthy. No action is needed.

    I unfortunately can't use Descriptions when defining an event trigger so these won't work, since Event ID 98 is used for all drives.

    Edit: Upgraded to 1.23-Beta2.

    Sorted this out using a WMI script scheduled to run at user logon, please ignore.
