I'm not able to reproduce this issue on any of the test machines. Can you share details about the Windows version you are running? Are you using VeraCrypt in portable mode or is it installed?

Thank you for the details. To help me better understand the cause of the crash and fix it, I'd appreciate if you could provide the crash dump for the issue.

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to enable Windows crash dump through the Windows Error Reporting (WER) registry settings and then how to retrieve the relevant crash dump (this is based on Microsoft documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/wer/collecting-user-mode-dumps):

  1. Enabling Windows Crash Dump through WER: a. Press Windows + R to open the 'Run' dialog. b. Type regedit and click 'OK' to open the Windows Registry Editor. c. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps d. If the LocalDumps key doesn't exist, you'll need to create it. Right-click on Windows Error Reporting, choose New > Key, and name it LocalDumps. e. Inside the LocalDumps key, right-click on the right pane, choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, and name it DumpType. Set its value to 2. f. Close the Registry Editor.
  2. Reproducing the Crash: Reproduce the crash in VeraCrypt. This will ensure that the crash dump gets generated.
  3. Retrieving the Crash Dump: After the crash has been reproduced, navigate to: C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Local\CrashDumps Look for a file named something like VeraCrypt.exe..dmp. This is the crash dump associated with the VeraCrypt crash.

You can then share this zip here or share it privately through email (veracrypt@idrix.fr).

Thank you.
