Question Recovery Partition Resize Enabled Wrong Partition

[nom115pfd]

I went to resize the recovery partition on a Windows 10 VM in accordance to Microsoft's fix to the error for the KB5034441 update. When I started the recovery partition was on Disk 0 Partition 3. After going through the resize procedure I proceeded to enable the recovery partition. However, when it enabled it enabled it to Disk 0 Partition 1 instead of Partition 3. This is on a MBR disk and the partition has an ID of 27 and is labeled Windows RE Tools. In Disk Management the resized partition shows as Recovery Partition and it isn't being enabled as such. How do I get it to enable the Recovery partition on the resized partition of Disk 0 Partition 3?

Will leave this thread in Windows 10 for the time being. "Storage" being another possible category.

More information necessary:

Open the Disk Management window and expand so all can be seen.

Do you have the link to the cited Microsoft fix? Please post.

Do you mean this is a VM created disk? For my real disk I used Gparted; first I had to decrease the size of the Basic Data Partition to create room for expanding the Recovery partition; then I was able to increase the size of the Recovery partition to fill the vacant space.

This would be a Virtual Disk associated with the VM and the partitions were created when the OS was installed. The VM was created before my time and may have been originally Windows 7 that was upgraded to Windows 10. If not then it was created as Windows 10. The partition has already been resized, Prior to resizing I ran the command reagentc /info to find the partition enabled as the recovery partition. The result was Windows RE location: \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition3\Recovery\WindowsRE. Then ran reagentc /disable and then resized partition 3 from 545MB to 765MB, adding 250MB in Diskpart. Once the partition was resized and exited Diskpart I ran reagentc /enable and then reagentc /info again and found that the result were now Windows RE location: \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition1\Recovery\WindowsRE. So, the command enabled Partition 1, which is the System Reserved Partition and not Partition 3 as it was originally. I need to have Partition 3 enabled as the recovery partition, not Partition 1.

I need to have Partition 3 enabled as the recovery partition, not Partition 1.

Format recovery partition to ntfs
and then

reagentc /disable​

reagentc /enable​

I checked the file system and it is already ntfs, which is how I formatted it during the resize procedure (deleting and creating the partition, then formatting it).
