Windows 10: Windows 10 Recovery partition missing

Hey, today after doing a clean format of my hard drive and creating new partitions the recovery one was missing. I tried to restart my pc and do the same thing again, but windows just wasn't able to create the recovery parition for some reason.

Is this something that I should be worried about? I've heard that missing the recovery partition may cause some trouble at some point.

windows 10 missing recovery partition

well i always have desktop , never laptop and i format my computers like over 100 time in the past 10 years and i remember windows 7 and 10 ( i never use 8) , create partition called recovery when you install windows you press New - apply and then is when windows create partitions , so basically the partition recovery is for factory reset ? i always do clean install

but here an example of what i mean

For the convenience of not having to use the installation media for startup repairs. But you should be able to use your installation media to do whatever the recovery partition does(including startup repairs). AFAIK. I could be wrong about that though.

I'm not sure if I follow you there. But if you clean install Windows 10 there will be at least 3 partitions.

• (EFI System Partition)
• (Primary Partition)
• (Recovery/OEM Partition)

If you install from an OEM installation media there might(should?) be 4 partitions. Since there might(should?) be a Recovery partition and an OEM partition.

How To: Create recovery partition.

it worked when i copied all the files of the disk to the recovery partition i created, but i had to use WinPE tab to add the entry.

Type: WIM Image (Ramdisk)
Name: Recovery
Path: Z:\Sources\boot.wim
and hit Add Entry
I tried it in VirtualBox and it worked.
At first, it would add a second "Windows 7" entry to the list, but when the installation is finished, the old one is deleted. (I formatted only C: partition)
