Explanation:
If you want to compact a differencing virtual hard disk or an undo disk, you must merge the changes
to the parent disk and then compact the parent disk, if it is a dynamically expanding virtual hard disk.
You can compact a dynamically expanding virtual hard disk. You cannot compact any other type of
virtual hard disk. However, you can convert a fixed-size virtual hard disk to a dynamically expanding
virtual hard disk and then compact the disk. If you want to compact a differencing virtual hard disk
or an undo disk, you must merge the changes to the parent disk and then compact the parent disk, if
it is a dynamically expanding virtual hard disk.

Says you can expand and shirk vhdx file while the server is running. This may require more research.

This is a parent disk and a differencing disk. I’m not sure.

You can! But the question is about “compact” not Expand nor Shrink. To compact a VHDX the VM can’t be running.

Typical MS trick question. While you can expand or shrink a VHDX file while running…..if attached to IDE not supported.
same link as above.
Looks like given answer may be correct.

w SCSI controller – the ability to expand or shrink the capacity of a virtual hard disk is exclusive to .vhdx files that are attached to a SCSI controller. VHDX files that are attached to an IDE controller are not supported.

It seems that nobody here knows about COMPACT! Folks it is not the same as Shrink. Research on it!

You can’t COMPACT a VHD or VHDX file when a VM is running (regardless of what controller it is connected to!). Same goes for converting between VHD and VHDX files.
You can, however, delete prior checkpoints while a VM is running (*.AVHDX files) (effectively merging while the VM is running)

Additionally, Gen1 VMs don’t allow any sort of VHD/VHDX manipulation while the VM is running.
Gen2 VMs allow for expanding VHDX disks while the VM is running. VHDs can’t be attached to Gen2 VMs.
