This script helps fix common Windows Update errors related to WinRE partition:

• KB5034441 / KB5028997 installation failures
• "Windows Recovery Environment servicing failed" errors
• Recovery partition too small for security updates
• CVE-2024-20666 BitLocker security update issues

Winre-Fix.ps1 Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) bileşenini güvenli bir şekilde yeni bir Recovery partition'a taşıyan/yeniden oluşturan bir PowerShell betiğidir.

• Desteklenen İşletim Sistemleri:
  • Windows 10 (1903+)
  • Windows 11 (tüm sürümler)
  • Windows Server 2016 / 2019 / 2022 / 2025
• Yönetici (Administrator) hakları ile çalıştırma zorunludur
• PowerShell 5.1 veya PowerShell 7+
• GPT disk (MBR değil) + UEFI boot modu

• Yedek alın! Partition ve disk işlemleri veri kaybına yol açabilir.
• Önce -WhatIf ile simülasyon çalıştırın.
• Script sadece Disk 0 üzerinde çalışır.

1. PRE-CHECK: Disk 0'da "Unallocated" (boş) alan var mı?
   ├─ Yok → HATA: "No unallocated space found" → Çıkış
   ├─ < 1.2 GB → Uyarı, -Force gerekli
   └─ >= 1.2 GB → OK, devam
        ↓
2. Yedek onayı iste (YES yazılmalı, -Force/-WhatIf ile atlanır)
        ↓
3. Recovery partition'ı bul (GPT Type ile tüm partition'ları tarar)
   ├─ Bulunamadı → HATA → Çıkış
   └─ Bulundu → OK, devam
        ↓
4. Partition doğrulama (boyut < 10 GB olmalı)
   ├─ Çok büyük → HATA: "Too large, might be Windows!" → Çıkış
   └─ OK → devam
        ↓
5. WinRE disable et (reagentc /disable)
        ↓
6. Eski Recovery partition'ı sil
        ↓
7. C: sürücüsünü genişlet (1 GB rezerv bırakır)
        ↓
8. Yeni Recovery partition oluştur + NTFS formatla
        ↓
9. GPT Type + Hidden attribute ayarla (diskpart)
        ↓
10. WinRE enable et (reagentc /enable)
        ↓
   TAMAMLANDI!

# 1. Simülasyon (güvenli test)
.\Winre-Fix.ps1 -WhatIf -Verbose

# 2. Normal çalıştırma (onay sorar)
.\Winre-Fix.ps1

# 3. Otomatik çalıştırma (onay sormaz)
.\Winre-Fix.ps1 -Force

1. PRE-CHECK: Is there "Unallocated" space on Disk 0?
   ├─ None → ERROR: "No unallocated space found" → Exit
   ├─ < 1.2 GB → Warning, requires -Force
   └─ >= 1.2 GB → OK, proceed
        ↓
2. Backup confirmation (must type YES, skipped with -Force/-WhatIf)
        ↓
3. Find Recovery partition (scans all partitions by GPT Type)
   ├─ Not found → ERROR → Exit
   └─ Found → OK, proceed
        ↓
4. Partition validation (size must be < 10 GB)
   ├─ Too large → ERROR: "Might be Windows drive!" → Exit
   └─ OK → proceed
        ↓
5. Disable WinRE (reagentc /disable)
        ↓
6. Delete old Recovery partition
        ↓
7. Extend C: drive (reserves 1 GB)
        ↓
8. Create new Recovery partition + format NTFS
        ↓
9. Set GPT Type + Hidden attribute (diskpart)
        ↓
10. Enable WinRE (reagentc /enable)
        ↓
   COMPLETE!

# 1. Simulation (safe test)
.\Winre-Fix.ps1 -WhatIf -Verbose

# 2. Normal run (asks for confirmation)
.\Winre-Fix.ps1

# 3. Automatic run (no confirmation)
