Windows Server 2022 creates one recovery partition just on the right of the C: partition. So, when it is required to expand the C: partition it is impossible due to this recovery partition. I realised of this problem because our IT department provides Windows Server virtual machines users are unable to expand.

I would like to know how are you dealing with this problem. Do you remove the recovery partition? Do you keep the recovery partition? how?

    I remember years ago one Windows Update of the vmware drivers that took down all our Windows Servers and they were unable to boot. I thought the recovery partition could be useful for those situations.

        A windows server iso would be a lot more useful since you could do anything including reinstall the OS, or copy files from the installer over. Recovery limits you to mostly just what’s already on the C drive.
