I realize this maybe only w10 o/s but I am surprised that no one else experience this issue. I installed a 1TB nvme drive as my o/s drive, waste of space but I also kept my 1 TB WD drive which has been partition to my specific needs. I no longer need to resize the recovery partition on the o/s drive.
The only observation is which I have been able to check is the following. When I do a fresh install ms-store comes back and says it needs to be updated, which it does. However, on host refresh there is no response.
