Microsoft tests faster Quick Machine Recovery in Windows 11

🔁 Microsoft is testing a faster version of Quick Machine Recovery (QMR) in Windows 11 that runs a one‑time scan in the Windows Recovery Environment to more quickly identify and apply fixes for systems that fail to boot. When WinRE launches QMR it connects to the internet to upload crash data so administrators can remove problematic updates or adjust settings remotely. The update also lets administrators and users toggle Smart App Control from Windows Security without performing a clean OS install, and is currently available to Insiders on Dev and Beta via Build 26220.7070 (KB5070300).
