Windows will not shut down, restart or go to sleep after new EFI and MSR partitions were created

Hello,


The title says what my problem is essentially, except that I am actually able to shut down my system when fast startup is disabled.


What happened? I tried to install a dual-boot system by installing Linux on a clean drive. Once Linux was installed, I was unable to start Windows 10, probably because Linux messed with the boot process of Windows. Creating new EFI and MSR partitions on my Windows startup disk using the command prompt resolved the startup issue and my system functions just as before, except for what we are now discussing.


I wonder if maybe boot manager or another startup program is confused by an excess of EFI and MSR partitions? Could it be that the unallocated spaces below are the old EFI and MSR partitions and should be deleted so as not to interfere with the startup process? Or could it be that the partitions created in the command prompt are not up to task?


At the moment, my startup disk looks like this according to Disk Management:

25f20639-148c-48bf-b5b2-79d919cceff4?upload=true.png


Diskpart returns the following partitions on this disk:

Thank you for any input that you may have.
