Description

When viewing the drives list on the Home Tab, or under the Drives treeview option, the icon for a drive that is locked due to BitLocker correctly shows a standard Windows 10 drive with the lock icon:

However, accessing the drive, then unlocking it does not refresh the view of the drive - the icon remains and there are no properties shown for the drive, even though it is now unlocked and accessible in both Files and File Explorer.

The navigation breadcrumb also remains showing "Network" rather than the drive name and letter:

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Open Files app on a device with a locked (encrypted) BitLocker drive
  2. Access the drive (click, whatever) and enter the requested password to unlock
  3. Go back to Home or view Drives treeview option - icon not refreshed, no properties for drive shown, however is fully accessible in Files.

Requirements

When accessing a BitLocker drive and unlocking, the icon and drive properties should be refreshed in Files to update the relevant properties for the drive in the display.
