Windows 10: How to hide recovery partition /set partition as recovery type after following KB5028997...

After getting a Windows update error 0x80070643 when trying to update my version of windows after looking online I followed the KB5028997 instructions to manually resize the portion to install the WinRE update. After doing this the recovery partition has become its own individual partition/drive F: as shown here: Is there anyway to hide this partition or set it into the recovery type so that it does not normally show in my desktop. I would also like to see if what I have done is correct after following the instructions I have since restarted my pc to apply the windows updates so do not have

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)

Windows 10 Home 64bit

I have created a recovery partition following the instruction given here KB5028997: Instructions to manually resize your partition to install the WinRE update - Microsoft Support

I have some doubts that I'll detail in a few moments

When in PowerShell (as Administrator) I type (sorry but is Italian)

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> reagentc /info

******************

it seems to me that the recovery partition (="ambiente di ripristino") is on disk 1 partition 2

Let's go ahead

I type "sel disk 1" and then

*********

DISKPART> list part

Partizione 1 Primario 100 Mb 1024 Kb

Partizione 2 Primario 464 Gb 101 Mb

Partizione 3 Primario 813 Mb 464 Gb

************

From what I see the recovery partition is (as I read) partition 3 and not partition 2 (which is the whole disk C:\ itself, sorry for the simplification).

First question is "Why 'reagentc /info' tells me that the recovery partition is on partition 2, while 'list part' tells me that is on partition 3?"

Is it bad? Is it good? Doesn't it matter?

Is it me that understands something wrong?

Let's go to the 2nd question

I select partition 3 and then I look at the details of partition 3"

DISKPART> sel part 3



La partizione attualmente selezionata è la partizione 3.

Why Type=07?

I created it via command "create partition primary id=27" and formatted with "format quick fs=ntfs label=”Windows RE tools”"

Shouldn't it be Type=27?

Does it make any operative/serious difference?

Do I have to change it (how) to make it work as a recovery partition?

I had to resize it due to the fact that KB5034441 didn't install otherwise

Why is it tagged as "Primary" and not as "Recovery"?

Is it normal? is it what is expected?

Do I have to worry because it is not "Recovery"?

Thanks in advance

Type 07 indicates the partition is not hidden, 27 indicates it is a hidden partition, either setting will not stop that partition from being used correctly as the Recovery partition.

Is that partition appearing in File Explorer?
