I'm not able to access the files in my encrypted volume after a long period of inactivity (approximately one day) on my laptop. I can open the folder and see the files in that volume, but I'm not able to open them. I will have to dismount all mounted volume and enter my password again. One volume is my system favorite volume, and i cannot dismount it in verracrypt, so i will have to reboot my PC and enter my passport again. Any solutions to this issue? is this a bug? Appreciate any help!
When I try to open any file in that volume by double clicking on it, the default software gives me something like "the file doesn't exist" or "the file is corrupted". It isn't an error specifically
I have never attempted to dismount that volume as it is a system favorite and cannot be discounted manually
I'm pretty sure file or drive corruption is not the case here as the drive is working perfectly fine and all files are accessible if I simply restart my laptop and enter my password again
I think I found what causes it, when my PC enters sleep mode, (or hibernate?) for some time. Files in the encrypted volume become non-accessible, only folders can be opened, and when clicking on the file the default program opens that file gives "... cannot read this file" So what I have to do is the unmount it first and re-mount again.
Turning off auto dismount doesn't work https://vgy.me/delete/ed1b739a-02c4-4e14-a0a6-1bddd7a3c910
When this happens, it takes a very very very long to to restart my PC
