Question about Recovery volume from system restore?
Is it normal for the recovery (WinRE) drive to be available to System Restore?

It is normal. I resized the recovery partition on my PC, so I see it as well.

It is normal and keep it untouched.

It shouldn't be, as you normally don't have enough space available in that partition.

Not normal, but doesn’t seem to be an issue. Happened on my machine also after I resized the recovery partition… seems the program I used did not set all of the WinRE properties correctly.

If you're in a situation where your operating system fails to boot, you might use the WinRE environment to access advanced recovery options, which can include restoring from a system restore point if it's available.
