No I do not have dual boot, Windows 11 is installed normally it seems to me and I can use it fine.– VJZCommented Nov 26, 2023 at 20:40

Yeah I was just going to wing it but I was wondering if my installation ever got corrupted, what would happen? Should I not go into recovery mode? Because I am afraid recovery mode will overwrite my C: partition with its stuff which deletes all my stuff on C: drive.– VJZCommented Nov 26, 2023 at 20:44

I suggest that using the computer when the disk is this screwed-up is asking for trouble. Better to take backup of your files, format the disk and reinstall Windows and apps.– harrymcCommented Nov 26, 2023 at 20:54

1. Full disk images are far more effective than Windows Recovery. Make (and verify!) images periodically, create a USB rescue environment, and you have lost nothing without Windows Recovery. After all, should there be serious drive issues, the Recovery partition could be damaged. 2. If you do want to reinstall that partition, as others have mentioned, do a full install from ISO --and if that wipes the disk, then restore Windows from the image.– DrMoishe PippikCommented Nov 26, 2023 at 20:56

@DrMoishePippik can you tell me more about full disk recoveries? Will it restore my windows state like a virtual machine snapshot?– VJZCommented Nov 27, 2023 at 17:28

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
