We need to see a Disk Management screen shot.
How to Post a Screenshot of Disk Management
If you haven't deleted the associated files, you can open a Command Prompt as Admin and type...
reagentc /enable
Better yet - Minitool Partition Wizard... and note your black screenshot makes it very hard to see some 600MB FAT32 partition.. (EFI?)
Note all the additional detail..
As you know, Windows will boot normally without one. Without one, you may lose..
- the ability to boot to Safe Mode via Advanced Startup options (but you can get to Safe Mode by other means- tutorial available).
- automated repair
- being able to boot to a command prompt, System Restore etc (Advanced Startup options).
Some of those options are available if you boot your PC from a Win 10 install disk, to Advanced Startup options.
Recreating it: see e.g.
How to recreate the Windows recovery partition.
In this video, i will take you through the steps to create a Windows recovery partition in a Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC installed in UEFI mode with GPT partition style.
Perhaps you removed it.
Removing a Recovery partition can be done without losing any functionality and takes but a few seconds.
And it can be re-created quite easily & quickly too.
