I have a USB Stick that has a hidden volume. It is also a Favorite Volume. It's set up when I plug it in the computer, Veracrypt auto-mounts it, and the hidden volume is ready to go. All good!
I would like to dismount the Hidden Favorite Volume, and mount the Outer Volume. Every time I try to do this, it always mounts the Hidden Volume, because it's the Favorite and carries the same password as the System Encryption.
Maybe I'm just missing something obvious, but is there a way to dismount the Favorite Hidden Volume and mount the Outer Volume?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Is there a way to force the password prompt to appear, so I can choose which outer or hidden to mount?
Edit2: EVEN MORE information for the community:
When I press the mount option, since I have a System Favorite volume, it will automount.
When I press the mount option holding Ctrl, it will bring up Mounting Options.
Go to Monting options, then put in your Hidden Volume Password under the Protect Inner Volume option, then press OK. It will force you to the mounting password option, which then you can go ahead and input the outer password.
I figured it out myself, however I thought this might be useful to someone else that has an outer volume and an inner volume as a Favorite / System Favorite

Does anyone have a followup to this topic?
