Disk Utility resizing depends on the top-end of your drive being clear of files.


If you have a Utility that writes stuff near the end of the partition by design, or if the drive was much closer to full at some point in the past, you may not be able to truncate the end of the drive (because a files is there). Disk Utility will not move files to make space.

You appear to be attempting this while using the completely useless Volume View in Disk Utility.


To make progress, you need to choose Device View from the tiny pop-up menu at the upper right, and operate on the immutable device Hardware-name, not on the MacOS Volume:


This operation should be done from inside Boot Camp, otherwise you may have to undo and re-do it later.
