Ignore the security issue as auto-mounting is one of the native features of VeraCrypt and there's nothing that could protect you from a keylogger in this scenario. Entering the password 5 times is no more secure than entering it once and even 5 unique passwords would all be captured by keyloggers. VeraCrypt can offer very little security against malware running in your OS session; it instead secures your data at rest when volumes are not mounted. Once a volume is successfully mounted, it is no longer...

Note: This post focuses on Windows as that's the primary target platform of VeraCrypt and the only one where system encryption is possible. The author recognizes that many issues also apply to MacOS and Linux. One reason for excluding the installation on unsupported OSes is to make VeraCrypt more secure by preventing threat actors from using these known vulnerabilities in the OS vendor’s unsupported OSes that are no longer receiving security patches from targeting the computers that are still running...

VeraCrypt provides zero protection from the vast majority of malware, so why would it create a false sense of security to allow installation on out-of-service platforms? What attack vector is the concern here? Would the boot loader/module somehow be susceptible to attacks on a Win7 machine that it was not vulnerable to on a Win11 machine? How? If a Win11 machine is infected, it's no longer your computer and VeraCrypt can do nothing to protect you. VeraCrypt doesn't provide any security in regards...
