Microsoft Tests Quick Machine Recovery to Simplify Windows 11 Boot Failures
The automated recovery tool, integrated with the Windows Recovery Environment, is being refined through feedback from Windows Insiders.
- Quick Machine Recovery (QMR) is part of Microsoft's Windows Resiliency Initiative, introduced to address boot failures in Windows 11.
- Currently available in the Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26120.3653, QMR is enabled by default for home users and offers both automated and manual recovery options.
- The tool leverages the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) to diagnose boot issues, send diagnostic data to Microsoft, and apply fixes via Windows Update.
- QMR aims to reduce recovery time and effort by automating the process, benefiting both IT administrators and individual users.
- Feedback from Windows Insiders is being gathered to refine the feature, marking a significant step in Microsoft's efforts to enhance system reliability.
