CompactGUI Crash when trying to compress folders located in other partitions

CompactGUI only works for folders located in the main C: drive. It crashes when selecting any folder from my M:, X: or W: partitions.

What are those partitions formatted as?

NTFS, like normal partitions in Windows.

I have no issues getting D-F: to work so this makes me think that these drives were formatted on Window 8 or earlier.

They weren't, I created them in Windows 11. Though it's worth noting that my C: is in SSD and the rest's in HDD.

And also that this only happens with folders in the root of those partitions, e.g. M:\Spotify doesn't work, nor does X:\!Emulators, but X:\!Emulators\3DS works fine.

Any news? I really wanna compress some files in my games drive.

EDIT: It only happens on some folders, I can't seem to make out the condition. I compressed a 20GB folder in X:\ but not a 711MB one.

If you run cmd in the folder you want to compress and use the command 'compact /C' it works for me.

You can run 'compact /help' for a list of the commands you can use.
