Thinkstation P310 SFF operating system missing after KB5083769 update

It's fairly common. It's mainly a glitch with WinRE, associated with the new Windows UEFI CA 2023 certificate. I ended up just temporarily disabling WinRE to get around it, though I actually don't have BitLocker enabled, given I use a portable drive to boot into Windows 11 25H2.

REAGENTC.EXE /DISABLENOTE: Even if you have BitLocker disabled, yet page file encryption is enabled, WinRE tries to roll back any updates, even if the checksum / SHA256 values are accurate ( converted from Base64 to HEX / Base-16 and verified using the built-in PowerShell 5.1 Cmdlet. ) If you upgrade from 24H2 to 25H2, and install this patch, it's not as noticeable, given for most, WinRE would be automatically disabled, especially if you have System Restore disabled and you delete the recovery partition. That's if you install on an HDD / SSD though. On other types of portable mass storage devices, it won't automatically create the recovery partition after resizing the system volume. Instead it just enables WinRE. This is where it might catch you off guard / sneak up on you.
