If you have another Windows VM temporarily attach the disk to that VM and extend it.

If not you can use a gparted.iso and boot from that.

i know about the gpart, but i tried to download the files and burn it like iso but it didn't help me,

mayb you have a link to an iso file that i can use?

cause the first way with attatching the disk to an another vm is very compilcated if i do it every time

i did not understand how to work with the gparted, but the soloution with adding the disk to another vm and extend it there was good and i succede with that, thank you all very much
