Windows 10: Cipher command on cmd not working

When I try to use the cipher command on cmd, this happens. Can anyone help? I am using windows 10 home edition

:)

 

CMD cipher /e on a folder output "Request not supported"

I've recently discovered cipher command on windows-10 command-line.

Now, the problem is when I'm try to execute cipher /e [directory name] or cipher /e [absolute path], because I'm always receiving the error [directory name]: Request not supported..

Some useful info:

• I'm running Microsoft Windows 10 Home
  
• I've executed the command as administrator either on 'cmd' and 'powershell'
  
• The disk's file system is in 'NTFS'.
  
• I've gave all the access to all the users in the 'Security' attribute on the interested folder(An empty folder for test purposes).
  

Could someone give me a hint/suggestion/solution about where the problem could be? Am I missing something important?
