    Automounting D: drive as System Favourite Volume has failed after 9.08.2023 Windows 10 Update.
    System loaded properly but D: drive was missing. Trying to mount it manually resulted in error "The device is not ready Source: MountVolume:9128"

    However after that there was another informational popup that stated:
    Your system is not configured to auto-mount new volumes. It may be impossible to mount device-hosted VeraCrypt volumes. Auto-mounting can be enabled by executing the following command and restarting the system.
    mountvol.exe /E

    So I did this:
    1. Start cmd.exe with Admin privileges
    2. Run mountvol.exe /E
    3. Restart Windows

    And the problem was resolved.
    I'm sharing the solution because I know this issues can be traumatic ;)
