    Hi all !
    I have two operating systems on my computer (Win 11 and Win 10). With VeraCrypt I encrypted completely Win 10 system, and faced with the fact that when I turn on the computer I have to enter the password twice (provided that I log into Win10). If I enter Win 11, I still need to enter the password, but only once.

    The whole login process looks something like this:
    - If I'm logged into Win 11:
    -- Start computer -> Enter VeraCrypt password -> Select system (Win 11) -> Desktop
    - If I'm logged into Win 10:
    -- Start the computer -> Enter VeraCrypt password -> Select system (Win 10) -> Enter VeraCrypt password again -> Desktop

    I would like to make it so that the VeraCrypt password is asked only after selecting the encrypted system (Win 10) and not every time I start the computer.
    If you need it, I will record the entire login process on video
    How to do it ? Thanks in advance for any answer

    P.S.: I apologize for my bad English. I write through a translator :))

    Try pressing ESC at the first password prompt. Only enter the actual password if you choose the encrypted Windows 10 and get a second password prompt. That's how I do it on my MBR-booting system.

      We'll have to give it a try. Thanks
