Storage Spaces not showing increased size..

Hello, Size was increased via storage spaces. I was able to fix the issue. It seems like size increase via storange spaces is not working. I manually have to reboot and then use following command to show the correct size.

C:\ > DISKPART

DISKPART> List Volume

DISKPART> select volume # (this is the number of the volume listed by the above ‘List Volume’ command)

DISKPART> extend filesystem

DISKPART> exit

This fixes the storage pool to show the correct size. But its really annoying to do that every time you increase the size of the pool.

Thanks

 

Unable to increase size of storage space

Hello, f1sherman

Welcome to the Microsoft community.

I understand that you are experiencing problems with the storage space not changing, you can try the following:

Search for PowerShell in the Start menu and select "Run as administrator"

You can list all storage pools and their associated storage using the following command

Check the size of the storage pool and how much space is allocated. This information can help you determine how much storage space you can expand.

You can use the following command to view the details of a specific storage pool (replace "YourStoragePoolName" with the actual name of the pool):

After determining how much storage you want to expand, use the Resize-VirtualDisk cmdlet. replace "YourStorageSpaceName" with the name of the storage space and specify the new size. For example, to resize a storage space named "MyStorageSpace" to 3TB, use the

Note: Ensure that the specified size is not larger than the available space in the storage pool.



Verify the changes. After resizing, you can verify that the size of the storage space has been updated using the same command you used in step 2.

Remember to back up any important data before changing the storage configuration to avoid data loss.

Storage showing as double the actual SSD size

many thanks for the suggestions. I have looked through and sadly none help. I have even does a fresh windows install (keeping data).

Searches for the problem show many hits but most are where the total storage size is correct but there is high use of the storage. The problem here is the storage size in settings shows as double the size of the C partition. I have found a few hits but no solution so hoping there may be some other suggestions here?
