I think it would be beneficial to add a detection for drive compression built into windows. Some users enable it due to crappy tech tips and it hurts the performance of the machine since cpu cycles are wasted. It is labeled as "compress this drive to save disk space" in the disk properties/folder/file properties menu. The easiest resouce I have found to do this is by using https://get-carbon.org/Test-NtfsCompression.html

Adding a module to everyone's machine would be less than perfect, the native query method if compact.exe /CompactOs:query which we can parse the output on. Seeing what that returns on a compressed OS would be beneficial

This was tested, and did not yield usable results
