@Database
You can't create a Recovery Partition. 2 Days ago it was there!
First you run a Backup. MS will not provide a new patch!
If you have Backups you don't need it really. But it's nice to have for short troubleshootings
Have a nice day.

@Pentagone It seems we can create a new Recovery Partition following :

sel disk 0
sel partition 1
delete partition override
sel disk 0
create partition primary
select partition 1
format quick fs=ntfs label="Recovery"
assign letter="R"
set id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac

YES, YOU CAN! BUT! IF YOU DO THAT, IT NEVER BOOTS AGAIN!
It might be better for you.

YOU ruined your machine!
See your own post #340
"Deleted the (R:) Recovery partition. The F@%uck is done !"

Pentagon said:

Many points to consider.
You run WIN 10 & WIN 11 on the same disk and you have 2 EFI-Partitions. Is the one in Partition 6 active and for WIN 11?

It doesn't appear that partition 6 is active in Windows 11.

"The Windows RE image was not found." Do you know where it is and can you find it?

Yes, it is in Partition 5 in my Windows 10 boot.

Pentagon said:

If you know where it is, follow steps in post 174. Change numbers and letters accordingly.

Here are the results for the steps in your post No. 174:
PS C:\Windows\System32> xcopy /h C:\Windows\System32\Recovery\Winre.wim R:\Recovery\WindowsRE
File not found - Winre.wim
0 File(s) copied
PS C:\Windows\System32> xcopy /h C:\Windows\System32\boot.sdi R:\Recovery\WindowsRE
C:\Windows\System32\boot.sdi
1 File(s) copied
PS C:\Windows\System32>

I am not sure I was successful since the Winre.wim file was not found. What do I do about that?

Pentagon said:

It is possible to have 1 Recovery Environment for 2 Operating systems. For that you have to use bcdedit commands.

That is exactly what I did for my dual boot.

Kind regards,
