    Custom Recovery Environment


    I updated my Macrium and figured it had been a while since I created my recovery USB and it was recommending I did so after the latest update.

    Cool.

    It's been so long since I initially created it that it turns out I forgot I got the image from elsewhere and I wasn't actually using the Macrium one! I've now wiped my USB and can't for the life of me remember where I got the image I was using from.
    I'm pretty sure I would have gotten it from somewhere on these forums but for some reason when I search for "recovery" the page doesn't load any results. Is there a recommended RE on here that someone has made that includes a bunch of useful tools like Macrium. It pretty much looks like Windows once it's booted up

    :)

    Unable to access Windows Recovery Environment normally

    Some entries in the bcd for the recovery environment is either corrupted or missing. To fix the problem, you;d need to rebuild the entries for the recovery environment.
    Here's the steps:
    1. Turn on folder options to show hidden files/folders. Open admin command then type: reagentc /disable
      - This will move 2 files from the recovery partition reagent.xml and winre.wim to C:\windows\system32\recovery
    2. If you have the Windows 10 ISO, double click on it to mount to a virtual cd/dvd else If you have the Windows 10 USB then navigate to Sources folder and look for install.esd or install.wim.
    3. Use 7-ZIP to open install.esd or install.wim, select and index. eg. 6 then navigate to Windows\system32\recovery. You'd see 2 files: Winre.wim and reagent.xml.
    4. Remove everything from C:\windows\system32\recovery (ie. your current winre.win and reagent.xml)
    5. Copy the new winre.wim and reagent.xml from the install.esd/install.wim to C:\windows\system32\Recovery
    6. From admin command, type: ReAgentc /enable
    Reboot to recovery. This will also fix the problem with shutdown /r /o
