Hello Sandeep
I need some of your special guidance on a Windows 11 not starting on a GPT partition drive
When viewing within the DISKPART utility, the C drive 'Boot' attribute has disappeared under the 'Info' column and the EFI partition has changed to 'Hidden' under the 'Info' column. I think this should be as System, right?
Can you please let me know how exactly can I get it back to start?
Also, can I call you to discuss, if you'd prefer, as it'll be faster?
