The name of the partition should have “OEM” or the name of the OEM (ex: HP, Dell, Lenovo) in it and “Recovery.” If you only have a non-OEM recovery partition, stop here. To remove the OEM restore partition, first see if you have one by looking at the partition manager (enter “partition” in the search box and click the first option). Unfortunately, you can’t do it by just using the standard partition manager. So, if you’re a reasonably tech-savvy user, you can safely delete the OEM recovery partition and save some GB. Note: There is also a non-OEM recovery partition that is usually 1GB or less that makes Windows' own factory reset feature function better and that’s probably worth leaving in place.

And, if you don’t have a key, you can always get Windows 10/11 for Free or Cheap. If you have a laptop or even most OEM desktops, your original Windows key will already be recorded in your BIOS.

If you don’t have a backup and need to start from scratch, you can create a Windows 11 or 10 install USB by downloading and using Microsoft’s own installation media tool (opens in new tab). First of all, you can always use an existing restore point or full system backup to get back to where you were right before the crash. However, there are many other ways to restore a crashed computer without sacrificing this disk space. Usually, you can invoke these from some kind of emergency menu before boot.

This factory state is not just a clean Windows 11, but one with all the drivers and preloaded software the computer came with. The point of these recovery partitions is to enable you to get back to a factory state if your computer becomes unbootable, perhaps even stuck on a blue screen of death. Most laptops and pre built desktops come with a recovery partition that eats up at least 20GB of disk space. This is a somewhat controversial recommendation so consider your options. These automatically force-close any open apps after a 2000-millisecond (2 second) delay (shorter delays could be problematic because it wouldn't give apps that are closing time to close themselves). Finally, create HungAppTimeOut and set that to 2000 also.
The best solution is to open the registry editor, navigate to \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop and create three strings (if they don't already exist). Create AutoEndTasks and set it to 1, create WaitToKillAppTimeOut and set it to 2000. Yes, Windows gives you a button that says "Shut down anyway," but you have to hit it and wait for the system to hopefully force close the apps.
Now, Windows is nagging you to go back and close all your apps manually.
Maybe you just had a nearly-empty notepad doc or a picture in Photoshop that you didn't want to save because you already copied and pasted the data into another app (or used the Save for Web option).
You go to the fridge, grab a drink and return to find a message on your screen that says you have apps which aren't closed. You go to shutdown or restart your PC and you walk away, expecting your computer to be powered off (or rebooted) by the time you come back. As always, with registry key changes, you'll want to restart the computer to see the changes. Finally, open the (Default) key in InprocServer32 and set its value to blank. Then add a new registry key called InprocServer32 under that. Open the registry editor and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\CLSID\ then create a new registry key called. That's an unnecessary extra click that you may end up making quite a lot.įortunately, there's a registry hack that gives you back the full context menu. In Windows 10 and prior, you could see all of your options right away, but in Windows 11, it shows you just a few choices and then makes you click the "Show more options" link to see them all. The most annoying feature of all is the truncated context menu you get when right clicking on anything.
