VDS_E_VOLUME_EXTEND_FVE

VDS_E_VOLUME_EXTEND_FVE means Virtual Disk Service could not verify the BitLocker state needed to safely extend the volume. The failure is about encryption-state verification, not merely free capacity.

What to check

Verify that the volume is accessible and its BitLocker status can be read.
Check whether the required system components and servicing state are healthy.
After restoring normal BitLocker visibility, confirm the partition layout before an extend operation.
