Disk extended in Computer Management not showing in My Computer

If you come across a Virtual Machine running out of space and you are about to provision more space and extend it make note that extending disk from Computer Management may increase the disk space on Computer Management window but also check from My Computer to ensure disk is actually extended.

If you come across this problem where disks showing in My Computer window are not extending after a refresh then do following:

• Allocate more space to the VM
• run Re-Scan from Disk Management
• use Diskpart to extend as shown in the screenshot below
