    The previous setup attempt failed at this point:"

    *

    2024-12-23 16:00:10, Info [SetupPlatform.exe] winreShrinkVolume Shrinking the OS volume with: 597491298

    *

    The system probably failed when shrinking the C drive.

    1. Please open Disk Management and maximize it. Post a screenshot.

    We'll try to create a new recovery partition manually.

    1. Open admin Command Prompt and run:
    • reagentc /enable
    • reagentc /info

    Post the output.

    no, it says "Security at glance

    See what's happening with the security and health of your device and take any actions needed"

    and in settings in manage providers it says no providers below antivirus

    Ok, please attempt a repair installation again using MCT.
