Windows 10: Windows uefi mode ssd wrong size of recovery partition

When i clean install 20h2 windows in a 256 gb ssd it creates auto a recovery partition of 500 mb (with the number 4 as the foto).

If you disable it (reagentc /disable) and then enable it again, the windows put the recovery in windows C partition because windows find that the 500mb partition is very small for it.

Anyone have seen this?

For now with macrium reflect i made it 1gb and after login in windows i run the reagentc /enable and windows put it again in the right recovery partition.

Windows has the wrong location for the recovery partition

There are 4 partitions on the disk. After the EFI system partition the is a tiny Microsoft System Reserved (MSR) partition that will not show up in disk management. It will if you list partition in diskpart:





Code:

 

EFI system and Recovery partitions on wrong drive (I ran a search)

Depending how the Windows install media is booted (UEFI or Legacy BIOS) Windows Setup creates either GPT or MBR partition style on the SSD/HDD.





The UEFI option will boot the Windows install media in UEFI mode and Windows Setup will create the GPT partition style automatically. On a GPT disk, Windows Setup will create a Recovery partition, an EFI System partition, a Microsoft Reserved partition (won't show in Disk Management) and a primary Windows partition.





The non-UEFI option will boot the Windows install media in Legacy BIOS mode and Windows Setup will create the MBR partition style automatically. On an MBR disk, Windows Setup will create a System Reserved partition and a primary Windows partition.

 

Partition resized, Windows 8.1 not booting, UEFI

Hi all,

Ok, I have a new lenovo ideapad 305 (system is UEFI boot), I used minitool partition wizard to resize the c: & d: drives (to increase space on the D) but didn't touch anything else, rebooted into windows & it seemed nothing had changed, so I booted up by USB and the partitions were exactly what I had changed them to. Thinking this was really weird, I tried rebooting & have not been able to get into windows since.
I have tried recovery through the windows 8.1 cd but it does not recognise the partitions at all! So I can't even use diskpart or the like, I have tried several boot recovery tools, some see the partitions & some don't, so I guess I need to make the partitions UEFI-enabled? I'm not fully savvy with UEFI & I've tried every piece of advice I could find, but i'm stuck, any clues?

Thanks for any help!
