Erase encryption keys from ram if new device is inserted problem

[TheSorrow1]

Hello, @idrassi I think I have discovered a problem with this option, currently running Windows 10 2004, when you enable this it can after sometime cause BSOD or in other words I suppose erase the encryption keys without inserting any device into the machine, this has also happend me on windows 10 1909. I made a clean install of Windows 2004 x64 and installed the latest veracrypt update 7.

Thanks for the report and sorry for the late feedback.

I will try to reproduce. it looks like there is a virtual device insertion that is wrongly detected as physical device. Normally there is already a check for this but maybe a new type of virtual devices was introduced. I will let you know.

I still didn't have a chance to investigate this further. I will try to reproduce in a VM first.

As indicated in this Sourceforge thread, a new implementation of the clear keys option was done (commit https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt/commit/e8f83544ead2011112788d48bff610574f5d6395) and it is available for testing in 1.26.5 version available in Nightly Builds folder of Sourceforge.

I'm attaching the setup installer of 1.26.5 here for reference: VeraCrypt Setup 1.26.5.zip
