Historically, when a Windows PC suffered catastrophic system corruption or failed to boot entirely, users faced a daunting ordeal. They typically had to scavenge for a USB flash drive. They also needed to locate a functional computer to forge an installation medium. Users might also need to rely heavily upon a manufacturer-preloaded local recovery partition. However, within the latest Windows 11 preview build 26220.9343, Microsoft has officially introduced a native recovery feature designated "Cloud Rebuild." This innovation dictates that even if the operating system crashes completely, provided the device maintains network connectivity, users can directly download a pristine image file from the Microsoft cloud.
