Windows 10: How can I resolve the error: "Could not find the recovery environment" when attempting to...

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

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
