Dear Community,

I have an annoying problem and am asking for help:

My System Favorites were mounted the first time that I testet it but 2 days later (I am not remembering to have made an upgrade) they won't.
I checked the Event log, but no entry whatsoever. It looks like VeraCrypt does not even try to do it.
The drive letter is free, the password matches the System drive's password and I removed and re-entered the drive several time now to the System Favorites. No effect

Oh yes and "Mount system favorite volumes when Windows starts (in the initial ..." is checked.

Windows 10 x64

What else can I do?!

Ensure that fast startup is still disabled after the upgrade. Then reboot PC.

Dear good sir, you are the Best! It was the Fast Startup setting.

Sad thing is that this little hint is not in the official document from VeraCrypt.

So 'booting' from the hibernation snapshot DOESN'T COUNT AS BOOTING as far as auto-mounting the System Favorites is concerned! (I put my vote on that ticket). Luv+hugs to all.
