Windows 10: Recovery options question

When I go into recovery options, I don't have the option startup settings under advanced options. Why is mine missing? I just had to format and reinstall 10 cause I couldn't get into safe mode to see if I can fix my problem. I have a hard time getting into safe mode, I h ave a asus motherboard and I try what they suggest but still doesn't work. In the manual it says press f8 after POST. What is considered after POST? Is that after the asus logo where it has the del option to get into the bios.

Recovery option

Hi Kamil,

Kindly follow the steps provided on this

Let us know how it goes.

 

Recovery option

Hey,

I'm having a similar issue. My File Explorer will not open at all since a recent update and my Task Manager has stopped working. It says the disk image is bad. Have you found anything out?

 

Open Admin Command and type: reagentc /info
If the Recovery Environment is Disabled then you won't see the Advanced option.
To Enable: reagentc /enable

 

It says it's enabled. It did show up one time but after that I couldn't get it to show up.

 

By any chance, did you mess around with bcdedit command or use any software to modify the BCD ?

 

I tried to fix or rebuild the boot.

 

Some of the entries in the BCD show as unknown and if you delete any of them then it would cause some options missing also. In your case: Startup Settings.

Did you upgrade your ASUS from Win 8 ?

 

I had windows 7 and did a clean install of windows 10, formatted drive and started from scratch. Like I said when I had to redo windows last week that option showed up, when I went back in after several attempts to boot up with no success I remembered that option, but when I went in to select it, it wasn't there.

 

Please post a screen shot of Disk Management. I'd like to see what the partition scheme looks like.

From disk 1, Your Windows 10 OS. From what I saw, this is not a clean fresh install and I don't know how you did it.
A fresh Windows 10 installation should have: 500MB System Reserved Partition and C drive. Normally, when you perform fresh install, you should not format the drive, just leave it unallocated and let Windows creates all needed partitions. In addition, you had 2 additional Recovery Partitions of 450 MB each, this indicated that you somehow did an upgrade.

BTW, why did you configure your E: and D: drives as logical ? Normally, they should be congifured as Primary, not logical.

 

If you previously had Windows installed on a different drive and then installed Windows on Disk 1, Windows would not install a hidden System Partition on Disk 1, it would use the already existing System Partition on the previous Windows drive. If you were to remove that drive, then Windows will not boot. The other way is to clone just the Windows Partition and not the Hidden System Partition.
As for Safe Mode, go to Settings/Update and security/Recovery/Advanced Startup/Restart Now/Trouble Shoot it will give you Safe Mode as one of the options.
If you can't boot, just keep spamming F8. You may have to restart several times to get to Trouble Shooting.

 

@spunk
This info is incorrect. His disk 0 and 2 contain only games. There's no hidden System Partition in this case but everything is in C: drive: Original Recovery, BCD (boot configuration file) and that's why C: partition is marked as "Active". If there's a hidden System Reserved partition then the System Reserved partition would be marked as "Active"

 

I don't know. I had the tech guy put the motherboard in and I'm pretty use my c drive was the disk 0 before and now it's 1. I had a partition on that drive and when I did the clean install I wiped out that partition and just left the drive as one. I had to format cause I wanted to get rid of the partitiion. Yeah I tried an upgrade first but was having problems so it was suggested to me in one of these forums to do a clean install.

Is there any way to change the E and D drives to primary?
