but does it extract files?

Is it good vhdx that was fully flushed after shutdown of system?
Probably vhdx support is not full in 7-zip, and log replay feature was not implemented.

"data after end of archive" message is just warning. So you can ignore it, if you have files extracted.

  Thank you very much for your answer. The file is extracted into an img file, which is not as expected, and it cannot be mounted. There may be some differences between the Mac version and the Windows version. Thank you again for your reply

There is no difference between macos/windows versions of 7-zip.
What is expected inside img?
Vhdx can contain "log replay" where real data is main_data + replay log. So we must replay that log. But 7-zip doesn't implement it.
