Windows 10: Windows has the wrong location for the recovery partition

I recently deleted the 2 OEM recovery partitions on the SSD on my laptop (now running version 1909), moved the Windows recovery partition to the end of the disk, and extended my C: drive to take up the newly vacated space. However, now the recovery partition is no longer labelled as a recovery partition in Disk Management. And when I type reagentc /info at the command prompt I get the following:
Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) and system reset configurationInformation: Windows RE status: Enabled Windows RE location: \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition4\Recovery\WindowsRE Boot Configuration Data (BCD) identifier: 16f70634-8e2e-11e9-a0cb-8f79f51c2075 Recovery image location: Recovery image index: 0 Custom image location: Custom image index: 0REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful.

It says that the recovery partition is partition 4, but I only have three partitions on the disk: the EFI system partition, C:, and the one at the end that ought to be the recovery partition, but seems no longer to be. How do I restore the recovery partition and get Windows to know its new location? I've got as far as extracting a winre.wim file from Windows install media, so I just need to know the steps after that.

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)

 

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

 

Lost recovery partition

Hello, I see that you are having issues with recovery partition. I would suggest you using the diskpart command in the command prompt. First, open up the comand prompt as an administrator, then type in diskpart. Now, type in list disk, and look for the
recovery partition drive. Follow the steps in the link below:
