Question Recovery partition shows up in disk management as healthy, but invisible in windows explorer?

[outlawstar15a2]

My Windows Recovery Partition is invisible in Windows Explorer however it shows up in Disk Management as Healthy with 529MB with a capacity of 529MB I only noticed it because Windows 10 is trying to install a update that, upon looking up the KB, is a update for the Recovery Enviroment and it keeps failing with download error 0x80070643. I think it's because it needs another update that is pending a restart which I'll do in a few moments but is it normal for recovery partition not to have a drive letter and to show healthy in Disk Management but be invisible in Windows Explorer? Seems kinda weird to me.

Recovery partitions are, well.... recovery partitions. No need for a drive letter.

Internal to Window's requirements and not something that us end users should mess with.....

Yes, that is absolutely normal and to be expected.

Things only show in File Explorer if they have a drive letter.

This really really does not need a drive letter.

Leave it alone.
