Recovery partitions in Windows 11 are designed to remain hidden and unassigned to a drive letter, housing crucial system files for repair and reset operations. When Windows 11 repeatedly assigns a drive letter to the recovery partition, it not only exposes sensitive files to accidental modification but can also interfere with network drive mappings or backup routines. This issue often arises after system updates, disk cloning, or partition changes, and persists even after manually removing the drive letter. Resolving it requires more than just using Disk Management—adjusting partition attributes and IDs is often necessary to restore intended behavior.
