Excellent :-) According to https://superuser.com/a/1724928/3386255 chkdsk e: should show the allocation unit size too, I assume that works for a mounted container too (no Windows VM to test myself).

Just use any other tool to get the cluster size, iirc Windows ups it from 32 to 128 KB somewhere around 32GB drive size. If those values differ, you can reformat the new container using the same cluster size.

VeraCrypt can't be used to encrypt the iPad itself. However, if your goal is to use VeraCrypt containers on an iPad, Disk Decipher may be worth a look as it provides container support on iPadOS. Full disclosure: I’m the developer of Disk Decipher, so I’m not an entirely neutral source. I mention it because it seems to match the specific use case you described.

I reviewed that part of the code yesterday and both should work correctly (as the preferences from the database are loaded last), but it's definitely a good idea to try both. Something unexpected is happening on this device, so if you notice anything unusual, please report. Richard.

Your screenshot seems to have been lost in space, could you repost it?

These 4 devices share the same code handling reading/writing databases (and preferences stored in there), double-checked all paths, so unfortunately no clue yet. The experiment with the new database is definitely useful, so please give that a try. If that doesn't resolve it, useful information to continue investigating this would be Any steps that make the issue reoccur, if it's reproducible it's usually easy to fix Recording the "Using application" from the database properties immediately after...

Do you use your safe only on your Dell laptop, or also on other devices (either desktop or mobile)? If also on other devices, what kind of device?
