Error mounting bitlocker drive(s)

[mr_coolcat]

Hey folks - for over a year now i’ve had no problem mounting and accessing my bitlocker drives while running endeavouros.
The last couple days i’ve begun to get the following error when trying to mount the drive:
An error occurred while accessing ‘Basic data partition’, the system responded: An unspecified error has occurred: Message recipient disconnected from message bus without replying

I have another bitlocker drive and I get the same error when trying to mount it.
Also, when I boot into windows, I can mount the drive fine, so it’s not the drive, it’s the system.

Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? Everything’s up to date system-wise.
I’m kinda hoping I won’t have to do a fresh install to fix this ;
thanks!
