Can only shrink a partition's memory from a 3rd party software, but can't do it from Windows Disk Management after Dualbooting with Ubuntu

I installed Ubuntu as dualboot on a Laptop running Windows 11 24H2, after a while of using it, when I wanted to divide some memory from partition C to D, it reported a rather annoying error, even the SD card also reported corrupted.

Every time like that I have to use a 3rd party software to partition, but after partitioning it jumps up a BSOD saying REGISTRY_ERROR (Even though it was successfully partitioned and there was no error)

How do I fix that?

    Hi FoxyFox06,

    Have you tried the CHKDSK tool? Open CMD as administrator and run CHKDSK /R C: to see if it can fix the problem.

    Not sure where your C and D drives are located, but Disk Management cannot shrink a partition and add the disk space to another partition because on basic disks the unallocated disk space can only be added to the partition left to it. You need to use some 3rd party tool to achieve that.
