Hello everyone. I have a clean install (with reformatting whole drive) using Windows 11 pro installation media from Microsoft site. Everything were good, i can use easy recovery environment (shift + restart to get their) and there was "Reset this PC" option. Then i decided to install Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery (cause i have dell notebook), and it was terrible idea. Installation was successful, dell recovery partition was created successful also. But i cant use it. If during boot i select SA OS Recovery, i just see completely blank blue screen for 1 min (on forums i read it means dell recovery partion damaged or something like that). And also i noticed, that even "Reset this PC" option disapeared from Windows Recovery environment. So looks like SA OS recovery installation messed with reagent setup somehow. Does anybody knows how to fix it? Ether by fixing SA OS Recovery or by returning back native "Reset this option" from WinRE?

reagentc /info shows this
