Windows 10: REagentC works badly

I want to set up recovery image location for Windows to custom partion but REagentC went mad.


1. Query info


C:\windows\system32>reagentc /info


Windows Recovery Environment Windows RE and system reset configuration

Information:


Windows RE status: Disabled

Windows RE location:

Boot Configuration Data BCD identifier: df4df9ad-2675-11ea-a53d-f4d0b4349d0d

Recovery image location:

Recovery image index: 0

Custom image location:

Custom image index: 0


REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful.


2. Enable agent


C:\windows\system32>reagentc /enable

REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful.


3. Disable agent


C:\windows\system32>reagentc /disable

REAGENTC.EXE: Windows RE is already disabled.


4. Enable agent


C:\windows\system32>reagentc /enable

REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful.


5. Query info again


C:\windows\system32>reagentc /info


Windows Recovery Environment Windows RE and system reset configuration

Information:


Windows RE status: Disabled

Windows RE location:

Boot Configuration Data BCD identifier: df4df9ad-2675-11ea-a53d-f4d0b4349d0d

Recovery image location:

Recovery image index: 0

Custom image location:

Custom image index: 0


REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful.


Previously agent had problems writing to BCD – “REAGENTC.EXE:Unable to update BootConfiguration Data.”– that was worked around by specifying the BCD guid using/osguid parameter.

ReagentC "operation failed: 32"

Hello.

What, exactly, does "operation failed: 32" mean when it comes from ReagentC?

Is their a published list of all of the ReagentC failure numbers, and what they mean or what triggers them?

The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

Reagentc failed

Empty recovery image location string. Setting image path before winre enabling needed.
perform these steps:

1. set drive letter to recovery partition
2. reagentc /setreimage /path F:\Recovery\WindowsRE
...winre.wim registration (use proper drive letter)
3. reagentc /enable
...winre activating
4. remove drive letter from recovery partition
