Windows 10: MSFT_VirtualDisk class enumeration will not yield attached virtual disks

I have a virtual disk VHD and attached via disk mgmt tool. Now using WMI and windows storage management API, I used MSFT_Disk class and executed the query "select * from MSFT_Disk" and both of the disks were listed. I thought that MSFT_VirtualDisk should result in only virtualdisk attached to the system but it does not return any disk.Please help with any clue.

Run a scheduled task when a disk volume is attached

I have this Windows 10 virtual environment where frequently I need to attach raw disk volumes to the virtual machine, then I need to run diskpart on it to initialize it. I think I need Window Task Scheduler to do the job. So here are the steps:

1. The volume is attached by the VM managing tool.
   
2. The scheduled task founds that the volume is attached, then run the diskpart script.
   

The diskpart part is easy, but how do I know if a volume is attached? I think it involves in using system events as task triggers, but what events should I look into?
