    I have a macbook Air (2016), running Windows 10 Home Pro

    Veracreypt seems to bee running fine, but when I mount a veracrypt drive, it cant be acessed in explorer

    i have several encrypted file conatiners with pretty much default setting
    (standard veracrypt colume, AES, SHA 112)

    i cant even acees veracrypt volumes that are created from the macbook itself

    whats going on here?

    thank you for any input

    This has been reported before on Codeplex and it turned out that it is caused by Apple Bootcamp HFS drivers. You can read more about it and how to fix it at https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/workitem/177#CommentContainer22

    Basically, you need to uninstall Apple HFS driver. One way to do it is as follows:

    1. Run Sysinternals Autoruns "Autoruns.exe" as administrator.
    2. Search for: apple
    3. uncheck Apple HFS
    4. Done. Reboot...

    Also:

    FYI, another way to fix this bug is to use Paragon HFS+ drivers instead of legacy (5.x) bootcamp HFS drivers.

    You can get the free Paragon HFS+ for win 8/8.1 here http://www.paragon-software.com/home/hfs-windows-free/ which worked for me to resolve this issue.
