Drive appears when in system properties

This drive appeared from nowhere when I was checking for restore points. I only have one user and this drive (\?\Volume{a6810e9c-7196-4ad5...) does not appear anywhere else. I haven't been able to remove it, not because it's causing performance issues or anything, but simply because it bugs me. Any idea what that is and how to remove it?

I've tried resetting my laptop several times but all in vain. Is there any solution for this?

The log says winre.wim can't be found even though the file is present there.

Pls try:

  • attrib -s -h -r c:\windows\system32\recovery\reagent.xml
  • del c:\windows\system32\recovery\reagent.xml /a
  • REAGENTC /disable
  • copy c:\winre.wim T:\Recovery\WindowsRE /y
  • REAGENTC /setreimage /path T:\Recovery\WindowsRE /target C:\Windows
  • REAGENTC /enable

    Do you think reinstalling windows via disk image (iso) would resolve the issue and other issues potentially?

    Type;

    • sel par 4
    • del par override
    • exit
    • exit

    Restart Windows and see if the entry is removed in the System Restore dialog.

    After restarting, we need to recreate the partition.

    Ok. We'll see if deleting and recreating the WinRE partition helps.

    From Admin Command Prompt, pls run:

    reagentc /info

    reagentc /disable

    diskpart

    sel disk 0

    lis par

    lis vol

    Pls post a screenshot.
