Run Hololens Emulator on a machine with compressed HDD

Hi,
When I try to run emulator, I got this error message :
"The emulator is unable to create a differencing disk.
The requested operation could not be completed due to a virtual disk system limitation. On NTFS , virtual disk files must be uncompressed and unencrypted."

My HDD is compressed. Maybe if I change the compression setting of the folder where the differencing disk will be created in , it might work but I couldnt find where it is trying to create it in.

    Thanks.
    I just removed compression on
    C:\Users\ ...youraccount... \AppData\Local\Microsoft\XDE
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Emulation\HoloLens\10.0.14342.1018

    ad many others and it worked.
