Crap, I just finished changing all my important passwords (came over from LastPass) and thought I was so careful to then put the files in Veracrypt after downloading (new to that). Now I will change them all again and download into the opened Vera Crypt container.

If you are really worried about your plain-text vault being written to the disk, you should also disable swap file and hibernation. However, even after this, there are still a bunch of other local attack vectors that could lead to your vault being exposed to the attacker. In nutshell, you are screwed anyway if your device gets compromised, so I would just recommend following common good practices on securing your device and enjoy life.
