You will be asked by a pop-up Window for the passphrase. That requires that GnuPG has been fully installed. What version are you using. Did you used a Gpg4win installer? If you are using the command line you may want to add the option -v to see more diagnostics. If you are not using the latest gpg2 version it is possible that the imported secret hast been protected using the IDEA algorithms which - for patent reason was not support by older GnuPG versions. You need at least GnuPG 2.020 and Libgcrypt 1.5.2. Running gpg2 --version shows the the GnuPG and Libgcrypt version. Salam-Shalom, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
