Microsoft has announced that participants in the Windows Insider program using the Beta Channel will soon see a new tab in system settings, making it easier to configure the Quick Machine Recovery (QMR) feature.
A new page titled “Recovery” will be added under the “System” menu, granting access to essential options in case of Windows startup issues. Users will be able to check if the QMR feature is enabled, how often the system checks it, and also set up automatic reboots for applying updates.
"Quick Machine Recovery is designed to assist your device in recovering from common boot issues by employing fixes provided directly by Microsoft," the company stated in a blog post.
The QMR feature was introduced in November 2024 to enable administrators to remotely restore Windows devices when they encounter critical errors. QMR will automatically search for fixes in the cloud and recover systems from common failures.
This feature is built on Startup Repair and utilizes a secure Windows recovery environment with network access to find solutions via Windows Update.
