Windows 10: Boots directly into Windows Recovery but won't recover

Just a few days ago I did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro 1903 (i.e., deleted all existing partitions from within the installer and let it proceed using the entire disk). I've had a couple of failed boots since then where it hangs on the lock screen and won't show the password box, or goes black before showing the lock screen. This morning, it hung on the lock screen, I powered down, restarted, and got "Bootmgr missing." Booted into WinRE from USB, ran startup repair, removed the USB, and now the computer boots directly into the recovery environment. So this is where it's at now, booting WinRE again from USB:

Startup Repair --> Startup Repair couldn't repair your computer.
Uninstall Latest Quality Update --> We ran into a problem and won't be able to ...
System Restore --> To use System Restore, you must specify which Windows installation to restore
chkdsk c: /f --> Windows scanned the file system and found no problems
bcdedit --> Boot configuration data store could not be opened. Configuration registry database is corrupt.
SFC /scannow /offbootdir=C:\ /offwindir=C:\windows --> did not find any integrity violations
DISM /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /restorehealth --> Operation completed successfully
bootrec /fixmbr --> completed successfully
bootrec /fixboot --> access is denied
bootrec /rebuildbcd --> identified windows installations 1 / Cannot create a file when that file already exists
bcdboot c:\windows /s c: --> Boot files successfully created

With USB removed, it still boots into the recovery environment. What's going on?

Desktop computer with Pentium G620, Samsung EVO 840 SSD added as system drive but otherwise totally stock. Was previously running fine on 1803, but upgrade to 1903 failed, which is why I did a clean install of 1903.

How does Windows boot to advanced recovery option e.g. command prompt?

- that gives me a 454 'Unexpected error' This tells me that the BCD is partially corrupted.

The commands: shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00
or: %SystemRoot%\System32\Cmd.exe /c reagentc /boottore&shutdown /r /f /t 00
should boot into Recovery if everything is configured correctly.
FYI, If Windows is configured correctly:

1. If Reagentc is disabled, you still can get into Recovery but with limited options.
2. If Reagentc is enabled, you'll get all options.
3. If you boot Windows using Recovery USB stick, You'll get into Recovery with couple of options missing.

Here's my suggestion if you want to try:
OPTION 1: Will save the trouble of re-install Windows.

1. Download the image of my first 3 partitions (450MB Recovery, 100 MB EFI partition, and 16MB unformatted primary)
   EFI_Boot-00-00.7z - Google Drive
2. Run Macrium and restore the image from step 1, overwriting your existing 1st three partitions, leaving C alone.
3. Delete the 490MB Recovery partition.
4. From Macrium, run fix boot problems.
5. Reboot. Open Admin command prompt then run Reagentc /info to make sure that it is enabled. If not, enable it.
   if failed to enable, reboot and try again.

OPTION 2: Assuming you've already had Windows backup with Macrium.

1. Wipe out the first 5 parttiions. (450MB, 100MB, 16MB, C Drive, 480MB)
2. Fresh install Windows 10
3. Restore C drive from backup image, run fix boot problems
4. repeat step 5 from OPTION 1 above.
