This showed up after my recent update on Windows 11 26h2. Any idea what it is? Should I be concerned? Is anything needing fixing?

From PowerShell (as Admin):
Code: 
Get-Partition | where { $_.AccessPaths -match 'cb62f3f1' } | fl

That should report which Disk Number, Partition Number, and what volume type for that volume.

Open a command promt and run this command:

mountvol

You should see output similar to this:

I suspect that you will see that this is a volume with no drive letter assigned to it.

Now, run the command below substituting the volume guid ID that you are seeing to get more detail like this:

EDIT: Note that the below command is a PowerShell command. Run from a PS prompt.

I found out when I resized my recovery partition to 1 GB that if it is 1 GB or larger it can show up in system restore.

So I resized it back to 900 MB and now it no longer shows in system restore.

I dunno how to feel about messing with that. I'd image it was initially that size for a reason.

I forgot to quote you. So the folder seems to be in relation to the recovery partition, but also I dunno what the correct course of action is.

I believe you can select the volume, click on Configure / Disable system protection to remove it from the list.
