I'm running an Ubuntu 20.04 LTS VM in Hyper-V. I recently resized a VHDX disk from 15GB to 100GB. Then I tried to use parted and resizepart 1 100%. After that nothing had really change.

df -h:

Disks app shows that my ext4 is 100GB

I'm stuck. I have no idea what to do next:/ Thank you in advance!

I saw the filesystem in the picture: ext4

To resize the filesystem to fit the partition size you need to run resize2fs (see man resize2fs for details).

From the infos of the question, this should do the job. If not, check manpage.

sudo resize2fs /dev/sda1

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
