You are having a similar issue as me. One of my boot partitions (EFI stuff) is out of order causing lots of headaches. In your case I think the only way to solve it is to follow the guide and make sure you activate your new partion as Recovery. From the guide: create partition primary id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac this command tells windows that this is the new Recovery partition. gpt attributes =0x8000000000000001 this command removes the drive letter recquirement so it doesnt show up in Disk manager for no reason. The old Recovery partion you can delete override as per the guide. You will have that old Recovery space now sitting as unallocated. Your layout will be thus: Reserved (128MB) unallocated (529MB) EFI (100MB) OS (475GB) Recovery (1125MB) *after resizing it

this does not help microsoft screwed up the update needs to be pulled https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-10-kb5034441-security-update-fails-with-0x80070643-errors/ here's the error they made the recover portion is to small

Older version of Win10 installed the Recovery partition first. Newer versions install it last, which is preferable. Partition 1 - System - The EFI System partition that contains the NTLDR, HAL, Boot.txt, and other files that are needed to boot the system, such as drivers. Partition 2 - MSR - The Microsoft Reserved (MSR) partition that reserves space on each disk drive for subsequent use by operating system software. Partition 3 - Primary - Where Windows is to be installed to. Partition 4 - Recovery - Windows 10 version 2004 and higher , the "Recovery Partition" partition will be created at the final stages of Windows Setup. Windows 10 version 1909 and lower , the "Recovery Partition" partition will be created as partition 1 instead.

To be honest I'm just gonna wait till microsoft fixes it themselves. I ain't in a rush since I don't use bitlocker, but if you have read my post before this one you would know i'm kinda pissed off at microsoft. So it might work for other but right now i'm just gonna sit tight until microsoft fixes it themselves.

In your case I think the only way to solve it is to follow the guide and make sure you activate your new partion as Recovery.

From the guide:

create partition primary id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac

this command tells windows that this is the new Recovery partition.

gpt attributes =0x8000000000000001

this command removes the drive letter recquirement so it doesnt show up in Disk manager for no reason.

The old Recovery partion you can delete override as per the guide. You will have that old Recovery space now sitting as unallocated.

Your layout will be thus:
1. Reserved (128MB) unallocated (529MB)
2. EFI (100MB)
3. OS (475GB)
4. Recovery (1125MB) *after resizing it
