You can verify which is the current active recovery partition by opening an elevated PowerShell (Admin) and entering the following command: reagentc /info The current active recovery partition will normally be the partition that is immediately adjacent to the system partition. This happens when major feature upgrades need more space to store the recovery environment but the existing recovery partition cannot be expanded, and so a new recovery partition is created. Partition 3 is the current active recovery partition and partition 4 is the original and now obsolete recovery partition. In the screenshot above, you will see two recovery partitions– Partitions 3 and 4.
These partitions do not display under ThisPC and you will need to go to Disk Management in order to view them: If you’ve been a Windows 10 user since its first release, or have been updating Windows 10 through multiple new builds, you will likely see that your hard drive now contains more than one recovery partition.
