Why does the "System Reserved" parititon keep removing its own labe


Recommended Posts

so how about a screenshot now showing its current state, then will have as reference when you say it changes.

As you wish :)

This is working (showing the label and hibernate works):

The "photoshop" version of what happens is usually this (next time it happens Ill show you the official screenshot:

Found this on hibernation issues- Seems as if in some systems it gets set 75 which is not enough for some systems causing random hibernation issues.

Change the registry setting HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\HiberFileSizePercent to 100.

Rebooted. Now hiberfile size is 100% of RAM size. Hibernation now works.

Here is the picture you asked of when it happens:

..

You don't happen to have any 3rd party boot managers or an antivirus that protects the boot partition, do you?

Also, what type of Windows install is this? OEM, Retail or Volume License?

Done. Ill fix it like always and see if it does any difference...

Nope.

This is VL.

Nope.

This is VL.

Just a longshot, but can I assume you're activated normally and don't have a 3rd party bootloader? Some 3rd party bootloaders tend to overwrite partition tables.

Who says it get removed? Looks to me like the disk just didn't get read correctly - since your file type is gone. If just label was removed you would still see that its a NTFS file system still.

Go to a command line and use disk part to see if you can view it that way. Elevated prompt!

Shows offline for whatever reason - so yeah its not going to show you label or type. So there is NOTHING in your event log on why the volume was set offline?? I find that almost impossible to believe.

what do you get if you just set it back online

sel vol 2

online volume

What and where do I look in my Event Log? Anything specific?

What and where do I look in my Event Log? Anything specific?

generally what I do is let it load up-- then sort by type-- look for anything red -

When you sort by type depending on the sort they will either be at the top or bottom of the list.

I would start there... usually those will tell you if there are serious issues.

Found something! :) Finally. I just don't know how the **** this arrived like this. And how the **** do I remove it?

Encrypted volume check: Volume information on \\?\Volume{b692cea4-1ccd-11e2-80c8-806e6f6e6963} cannot be read.

Source: BitLocker-Driver

User: SYSTEM

The thing is I have never used Bitshit in my life. How the **** do I nuke this piece of ****?

And now even stranger: I used to be able to assign it a letter (therefore recovering the label), deassign it the letter and then hibernate. Now I do the same process but when I hibernate it, the display goes black but the PC keeps running and it never hibernates.

I don't think that error is related to drive being encrypted or using bitlocker, just think that is a generic type error that that volume can not be read in general. While your bitlocker driver checked to see if it was encrypted.

Seems you have issues with that disk if you ask me... You ran checkdisk against that specific partition?

Does that guid for that volume match up with your system reserved partition? A quick way to list all volumes by guid is mountvol

example

C:\>mountvol
Creates, deletes, or lists a volume mount point.

MOUNTVOL [drive:]path VolumeName
MOUNTVOL [drive:]path /D
MOUNTVOL [drive:]path /L
MOUNTVOL [drive:]path /P
MOUNTVOL /R
MOUNTVOL /N
MOUNTVOL /E

	path		Specifies the existing NTFS directory where the mount
				point will reside.
	VolumeName  Specifies the volume name that is the target of the mount
				point.
	/D		  Removes the volume mount point from the specified directory.
	/L		  Lists the mounted volume name for the specified directory.
	/P		  Removes the volume mount point from the specified directory,
				dismounts the volume, and makes the volume not mountable.
				You can make the volume mountable again by creating a volume
				mount point.
	/R		  Removes volume mount point directories and registry settings
				for volumes that are no longer in the system.
	/N		  Disables automatic mounting of new volumes.
	/E		  Re-enables automatic mounting of new volumes.

Possible values for VolumeName along with current mount points are:

	\\?\Volume{2964090a-db60-11e0-ba2f-806e6f6e6963}\
		*** NO MOUNT POINTS ***

	\\?\Volume{594c943c-dbb1-11e0-a78d-180373b10dd3}\
		D:\

	\\?\Volume{2964090b-db60-11e0-ba2f-806e6f6e6963}\
		C:\

	\\?\Volume{2964091f-db60-11e0-ba2f-806e6f6e6963}\
		*** NO MOUNT POINTS ***

	\\?\Volume{29640920-db60-11e0-ba2f-806e6f6e6963}\
		*** NO MOUNT POINTS ***

	\\?\Volume{29640921-db60-11e0-ba2f-806e6f6e6963}\
		*** NO MOUNT POINTS ***

	\\?\Volume{29640922-db60-11e0-ba2f-806e6f6e6963}\
		*** NO MOUNT POINTS ***

	\\?\Volume{6cc911ca-db53-11e0-80fa-806e6f6e6963}\
		E:\

	\\?\Volume{6cc91246-db53-11e0-80fa-180373b10dd3}\
		I:\

Now that first one is my reserved volume - and I can real simple verify that with just opening it

post-14624-0-79922100-1356360838.png

If while system reserved partition is listed, not a drive letter can you open it with that volume guid listed? If not it might be some other mount point that is no longer even connected to your drive and could be a red herring in your quest for the cause of the problem.

I would run a chkdsk against that system reserved partition. This thread has been going on for a while - you did run a FULL drive test with the tools from your drive maker??

I don't believe you can run a check disk with say

C:\>chkdsk \\?\Volume{2964090a-db60-11e0-ba2f-806e6f6e6963}\

The specified volume name does not have a mount point or drive letter.

So give it a drive letter and then run chkdsk against that drive letter.

    • OpenAI's new GPT-5.5-Cyber tops Claude Mythos 5 in vulnerability benchmark by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI today announced a major expansion of Daybreak, a cybersecurity initiative designed to help defenders find, validate, and fix software vulnerabilities earlier in the development process. The availability of powerful AI models has definitely changed the cybersecurity landscape by making vulnerability discovery much faster. However, the bigger bottleneck for the industry is now patching those vulnerabilities. Impacted software teams need to validate the discovered issues, understand their impact, develop fixes, test them, and deploy patches. Back in March, OpenAI launched a preview of Codex Security, which uses agentic reasoning with automated validation to discover high-impact issues and actionable fixes specific to the codebase. Since then, it has scanned more than 30 million commits across over 30,000 codebases; more than 70,000 findings were marked as fixed by human reviewers, while over 500,000 findings were automatically determined to be fixed. Now, OpenAI is releasing an updated Codex Security plugin that can run deep scans, review recent code changes, generate security reports, trace attack paths, validate findings, and create codebase-specific patches for human review. It can also triage findings from existing scanners, advisories, bug bounty reports, and ticketing systems. OpenAI says the plugin can export results to vulnerability management systems and integrate with workflows using SARIF files, CodeQL queries, the Codex CLI, and the Codex app. Back in May, OpenAI announced the preview of GPT-5.5-Cyber, a new model built on top of the recently released GPT-5.5, designed for specialized cybersecurity work. Today, OpenAI launched the full version of GPT-5.5-Cyber through a limited release for verified defenders. On CyberGym, GPT-5.5-Cyber scored 85.6%, compared with 81.8% for GPT-5.5 and 83.8% for Claude Mythos 5. It also scored 39.5% on ExploitGym, compared with 25.95% for GPT-5.5, and 69.8% on SEC-bench Pro, compared with 63.1%. OpenAI also announced the new Daybreak Cyber Partner Program, which will allow security vendors and service providers to use GPT-5.5 with Trusted Access for Cyber in their products and services. Accenture, Akamai, Cisco, Cloudflare, CrowdStrike, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, SentinelOne, Wiz, Zscaler, and others were listed as initial partners for this program. OpenAI is also launching Patch the Planet with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, Calif, researchers, and maintainers. More than 30 open-source projects have committed to participate, including cURL, Go, Python, Sigstore, and pyca/cryptography.
    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs by Sayan Sen Earlier today AMD released a major graphics driver update as it brings support for FSR 4.1 to Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs. The new update, version 26.6.2, also brings support for Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and more. And while the driver technically supports Windows 10 version 21H2 and newer, the tech giant has confirmed that there is a major issue with the new driver on non-Windows 11 PCs as it fails to launch properly on such systems. The error message says, "The version of AMD Software that you have launched is not compatible with your currently installed AMD graphics driver." Therefore on the surface it looks like a compatibility problem. AMD has also confirmed that the device manager will display the yellow bang or yellow exclamation sign alongside your GPU under the Display adapters dropdown. Here is what the Radeon team's official advisory recommends to affected users: "Users Running Windows 10 and AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 May Encounter Yellow Bang in Device Manager Affecting AMD Radeon RX Series Graphics ... Our Engineers are currently investigating this issue and will provide a fix once it is available. Affected users may revert to AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.1 as a temporary workaround." As such you should revert back to the previous 26.6.1 driver which was released earlier this month. In case you were looking to play Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations you will probably have to wait a while if you want the driver to support those games officially. You can find the support article here on Microsoft's website.
