I recently installed the windows client on my Win 11 Pro machine.  
I immediately got a warning about space usage on harddiskvolume 4 - and I tracked that down to being the recovery partition on my boot drive, I have no way of resolving this warning ofc and would prefer if that partition and the EFI partitions were excluded from the reporting. I think this should be default on Windows.  
I am not sure how to do that.
