I always install Windows to a different disk, so yes, Windows will try to recover partitions on other disks, especially when it finds multiple ESPs and the windows one isn't the active one (upon which it sometimes tries to install it's bootloader there, looks if that disk has the windows partition on it and confirms that yes, windows is installed on that disk because it has a windows-like ESP that it just installed, so it goes for a repair)
