    I'm attempting to autopilot image all the computers in our company. However a good many of the test computers have displayed the error "Could not find the recovery environment" when I attempt to reset the computer before the initial Autopilot imaging.The computers are remote. I've attempted to enable the recovery environment programmatically. I created a boot.wim file using ADK and extracting one from an ISO, however neither method worked. Using ADK:copype amd64 C:\WinPEdism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:C:\WinPE\media\sources\boot.wim /index:1 /MountDir:C:\WinPE\mountdism /image:C:\WinPE\mount /Ad

    How can I resolve the error: "Could not find the recovery environment" when attempting to...

    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
