When Adding vCPUs to Windows Server 2012 R2 They Do Not Show Up in Task Manager

I am trying to add CPUs to a Windows Server 2012 R2 VM and after they have been added to the machine, I boot up the VM and notice they are not being registered in task manager. The new CPUs do show up in device manager but as far as I can tell, they are not being used by the VM and so I can't register any performance improvement. I also cannot allot the CPUs in SQL Server Manager or see them in Spotlight.

Has anyone encountered this kind of behaviour before?

Full disclosure, I am using VMware for the back end but I have already closed a ticket with them in which they advised me this was an issue with the guest OS and not the host.

I am going to open a ticket with Microsoft, but I was wondering if this has been resolved on the forum first.

Thank you.
