Label command line argument not being passed

[some]

I feel like this is a issue on my end since I've seen people with it, maybe I'm missing it's point but I'll ask just in case.

When I try to run "VeraCrypt /v \Device\Harddisk1\Partition1 /m label=Test" it doesn't push the label argument at all as the drive label doesn't appear in mount options nor on the drive itself on Windows. I know labels work on full drive encryptions, so that's not a reason.

Anyone have this issue? Any way to fix it?

Try adding /q to what you enter in the run dialogue (and, to prevent lengthy delays, the hash eg /hash sha512). Then only the password dialogue appears.

Veracrypt can't assign a label until the volume is mounted. So, if you don't use /q, and therefore make the full GUI appear, it has to enter something as a placeholder for what you are trying to mount, and it will use it on mounting, and won't change it afterwards.

If only the password dialogue appears, there is no need to find something to appear in the GUI to represent the volume to be mounted; when it is mounted, the specified 'label' is applied.

Hope this makes sense!

And it's nothing to do with system encryption; it's the same for file containers and partitions.

I see. It does make sense, and it does work now. Thank you so much!
