Extended partition via diskpart, Windows not showing extra space

Issue:  After adding disk space to a VM, you run diskpart to extend the partition. Diskpart shows it is extended, but Windows explorer does not recognize the extra disk space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Resolution:  This is a pretty simple fix.  While still in diskpart, make sure you are on the partition that you need, then type:  EXTEND FILESYSTEM, hit F5 on Windows explorer and you should see the space now.
