As there are no errors reported in the partition messages, you'll have to run some commands and post the results so we can see what is happening. (Making lots of assumptions about your disk layout, so you may need to change the /dev/sda and /dev/sda2 device names to match your actual disk layout shown in GParted). Run the following commands in a terminal:
sudo su -
parted /dev/sda print
ntfsresize --info --force --no-progress-bar /dev/sda2
The message I get when I look at the Information in GParted for the partition in question is:
Unable to read the contents of this file system!
Because of this some operations may be unavailable.
The cause might be a missing software package.
The following list of software packages is required for ntfs file system support: ntfs-3g / ntfsprogs.

ERROR: NTFS is inconsistent. Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot it TWICE!
The usage of the /f parameter is very IMPORTANT! No modification was
and will be made to NTFS by this software until it gets repaired.
I go into Windows 8.1, run chkdsk c: /f, am told that it will be rescheduled the next time I boot. I reboot Windows 8.1, it checks the c: partition and finds no errors. I reboot Windows 8.1. I then reboot into GParted Live and it gives me the same errors for the ntfsresize it gave originally.
So the ntfsresize says there is something wrong with the partition but Windows 8.1 says that the partition has no problems or errors.
