Description
### Description
When using Files to mount a VHDX file containing BitLocker, a UAC dialog pops up, but nothing happens. The file is actually mounted but remains unlocked. If you attempt to mount it again, you won’t be able to access its files, and Disk Manager will display an "unknown" partition with BitLocker.
### Steps To Reproduce
1. A VHDX file contains 1 or more partitions encrypted by Bitlocker;
2. Mount it;
3. Hold on a second;
4. If not require to input password, double-click VHDX file again;
5. Reproduced.
6. (Optional) Open Windows explorer and click the partition in VHDX -> "Parameter error";
7. (Optional) Open Disk Manager -> Unknown partition (Bitlocker enabled)
