Windows 10: Could Not Find the Recovery Environment

Hi,


I am trying to reset my computer to Factory settings, and have followed a guide for resetting the target for my Winre.wim file so that my pc can find the recovery environment when i go through the process of resetting it.

I go through all the options and it appears to be working OK, but then at the last hurdle it still doesn't seem to be able to enable the recovery drive.

Would be much appreciated if someone could take a look and provide some advice to solve this issue.


I bought this PC nearly 2 years ago and it is a renewed PC so it hasn't been configured properly i think, which is why i wanted to reset it completely. I have tried other optimisation processes such as the de-fragmentation but noticed little change.

If anyone has any further advice on what i could do to improve the performance of my PC that would be great. I did check the hardware specs and whilst they aren't very high they are ample for what this PC is going to be used for.

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
