Let XYplorer prompt for Bitlocker password if I double click on a *.vhdx file?

Hyper-V feature is currently installed on my Win10 Pro system.
Bitlocker is NOT used on any of my partitions.

Now when I double-click on a new *.vhdx file with Bitlocker protection this virtual drive is mounted (=visible) in XYplorer and Windows Explorer.

When I click on Drive G:\ XYplorer tells me:

"Location currently not available G:\"

When I click in Windows Explorer on the same Drive G:\ then I am prompted for the Bitliocker password.

Afterwards the vhdx file is succesfully mounted and accessible. Thats the way it should be.

How can I tell XYplorer to prompt me for the Bitlocker password too?

hi! i too have this same issue in XY. my only solution that i have is either:

1) use Windows Explorer to mount and unlock the drive, then XY works as normal ,or
2) in XY, standard right-click on the VHDX, Mount and then right-click on the newly mounted drive, Show 64-bit Context Menu and then Unlock Drive.

the Unlock Drive from a standard 32-bit context menu in XY does not work, it shows an "Application not found" message.
