Why on earth would you want to store all your VHDX and Virtual Machines in the same folder?
Its nuts that Microsoft steers you in that direction.
The logical layout is to have a folder for each VM in which contains all files connected to that VM.

As an MSP you'd might have many different customers in the same Hyper-V enviornment and you want to have each customers VM files in that customers parent folder.
