Hi there,
A few weeks ago I performed a system reset within Windows 11 to attempt to resolve a driver issue with one of my Galaxy Book S USB-C ports. The system reset did not resolve the problem but I eventually figured out a fix.
With the system reset the Qualcomm power plan that came with the Galaxy Book S disappeared. This is a Samsung-specific power plan that came with the Book S and optimized its battery duration to the next level. Even after performing all Windows and Samsung updates, I was unable to recover that power plan.
After that I realized that on my Book S there was a recovery partition - even though I had seen posts on the web stating the Book S had no recovery partition. So I restarted my PC, performed a reset from the BIOS, and reinstalled the original Windows 10 that came with the laptop. I performed all Windows and Samsung updates but I was once again unable to retrieve the Samsung power plan that was originally installed on the Books S. Eventually I upgraded to Windows 11 again.
Today I just checked the partititions from Command Prompt and noticed two partitiions:
1 a Windows RE recovery partition
2 a SAMUNSG_REC recovery paritition
Now I am wondering if maybe there is way to reinstall the system from the Samsung recovery parition to get the original factory setup, including all Samsung drivers and apps.
Would anybody know?

Yes, the Book S is ARM-based. The version I have has an Snapdragon 8xc. Why?

I can't say for sure it's a full version but it works like a charm.
The Windows 11 version on my Book S is supposedly the same one that is my two Galaxy Book Pro - Windows 11 23H2, down to the buld version (22631.3155).
