There are times when you need to mount VHD(x) when you login to Windows.

The easiest way I know is to run a task at logon:

General/Run with highest privileges: true

Trigger/Begin the task: At log on
Trigger/Settings/Specific User: <current user>
Trigger/Advanced Settings/Enabled: true

Action: Start a program
Action/Settings/Program: powershell.exe
Action/Settings/Add argument: Mount-DiskImage -ImagePath 'Full path of VHD or VHDX file'

Update: From Windows 11 22H2, you are able to create Dev Drive, which will auto mount at logon.
