If your Windows 11 computer ever has trouble starting up, the Quick Machine Recovery feature can help fix it faster. This guide will show you how to turn this feature on or off in simple steps.

What is Quick Machine Recovery?

Quick Machine Recovery is a helpful tool in Windows 11 that automatically tries to fix your PC if it can’t start properly. Instead of you having to do anything, it can look for fixes online and repair your system by itself. This means less waiting and less hassle if something goes wrong.

There are two main parts to this feature:

• Cloud remediation: Your PC connects to the internet and looks for fixes from Windows Update.
• Auto remediation: Your PC tries to fix problems automatically without you having to step in.

Why Use Quick Machine Recovery?

• Faster fixes: Helps your PC recover quickly from startup problems.
• Automatic updates: Uses the latest fixes from Microsoft.
• Less hassle: You don’t need to do complicated repairs yourself.
• Easy to turn on or off: You can control it in Windows Settings.
