Windows 10: Does KB5053117 cause wpeutil reboot/shutdown to fail?

I build a rescue media using WinRE. I use the wpeutil shutdown and wpeutil reboot commands but find that they are now failing with error 0x80070006. This appear to be a new issue when using WinRE version 10.0.26100.3031, which has WinRE updates via KB5053117.Can anyone confirm this? Is there a better way to initiate a restart or shutdown?

Failed to copy boot files  

You could 1. backup your current C-Partition (2) 2. follow steps from #17 3. Run a Recovery and replace the C-Partition with the Backup from step 1 When the offline SFC-Command doesn't work it is much more than just a bootproblem! mkdir E:\scratch wpeutil InitializeNetwork Wpeutil DisableFirewall Dism /image:E:\ /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /ScratchDir:E:\scratch is the last trial, Edit: check the drive letter first. It might have changed diskpart list vol

 

Random shutdown and reboot with no real explanation

Hi, Blaze Fulford

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.



Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the random shutdowns and reboots you've been experiencing on your system. I understand how frustrating and disruptive this issue can be, especially when it occurs during gaming sessions.

The Event ID 41 in the Event Viewer indicates that the system rebooted without cleanly shutting down first, which can be caused by various factors. While pinpointing the exact cause may require further investigation, I can provide you with some troubleshooting steps to help diagnose and resolve the issue:

1. Check for Overheating: Ensure that your system is adequately cooled and that all fans are functioning correctly. Overheating can lead to unexpected shutdowns to protect the hardware.
   
2. Update Drivers and Software: Make sure all drivers (especially graphics card drivers) and BIOS are up-to-date. Outdated drivers can sometimes cause stability issues. Manufacturers often release updates that can fix problems like the one you're experiencing. You can visit your motherboard or computer manufacturer's official website to download the appropriate drivers and install them to see if the problem persists.
   
3. Check the memory: Use the memory diagnostic program in Windows to test all the system memory.
   
   • Press Windows + R, type 'MdSched', Enter and then open 'Memory Diagnostic Tool'.
     
   • Tap on 'Restart now and check for problems'.
     
   • Follow the prompts to check, wait for it to complete, and check the report to see if any problems are detected.
     
4. Review Recent Changes: If the issue started occurring after making any recent changes to your system, such as installing new software or hardware, consider reverting those changes to see if it resolves the problem.
   

If you continue to experience random shutdowns and reboots after following these steps, please provide us with more information, such as any error messages you see before the shutdown, recent system changes, or any other relevant details. This will help me further diagnose the issue and provide you with tailored assistance.

I'm here to help, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need further assistance.

I used Wpeutil Shutdown which worked. Thanks!
