1) Is vhdx supported at all?
The image-file-formats.html only mentions that vhd is supported, but there's nothing about vhdx.
However, it turns out that vhdx format works, at least partially (Great, thanks!). That is, I am able to mount a vhdx image, created with Disk2vhd v2.01 with OSFMount v3.1 (1000) on my Windows 10 x64 v1803.
So... Could you please clarify, is vhdx "supported"/"supported experimentally" or something?
Maybe it would be a good idea to adjust the "image-file-formats.html" to make it clearer?
2) The vhdx creted with Windows Disk Management
Meanwhile, I'm unable to mount a vhdx, created with Windows Disk Management
Reproduction steps:

2) The vhdx creted with Windows Disk Management
Meanwhile, I'm unable to mount a vhdx, created with Windows Disk Management
Reproduction steps:
- Create new dummy 100MB vhdx file on a local HDD with
right click on start -> disk management -> Action -> Create VHD.- Either dynamically-expanding or fixed-size.
- Put it on a local HDD.
- Initialize it as MBR.
- Quick-format whole disk as NTFS.
- The vhdx is automatially mounted OK, it is possible to copy a file into it. Disconnecting and re-attaching also works OK in Windows Disk Management.
- Try to mount it with OSFMount (not-as-RAM-drive, not-as-removable-media, Read-only, Emulation=Logical).
- Note that "Mount partitions as virtual disks" option is not availible. Only "Mount entive image as virtual disk".
- The OSFMount produces no error messages. The drive letter is created, as well as the corresponding line in "Mounted virtual disks" table in OSFMount GUI.
- However, when I try to open this disk in Windows File Explorer, I get
Code:
[Window Title] Location is not available [Content] D:\ is not accessible. The parameter is incorrect. [OK]
- Try to mount it with OSFMount with Emulation=Physical.
- The Windows Disk Management says "Unallocated" for the whole disk.
