Open hyperlink problem

When I open the hyperlink (1) it's opening chrome correctly,
but It's missing ":" comma char, so I have to type ":" comma char manually in the browser to open the
folder that I need. Who can help me to say why I am doing wrong? How can I solve this issue?

I read some articles and I saw the ":" comma char is an URL Encode and it corresponds at "%3A", it's reserved. I still don't know how to solve this issue I have already tried to change the hyperlink from "http://file://...." to "http://file%3A//....", but if I do this the hyperlink does not work as a hyperlink at Power BI and does not open the web browser. Somebody can help me? I appreciate it a lot and need too much help with this issue.
