Windows 10: Unable to use ASUS recovery partition, f9 is not working

Hi, i have recently upgraded my ASUS F555LP to windows 10, but the update gave me problems, so i decided to restore the laptop to "out of the box" conditions.

When i try to press f9 to restore it, it show me a recovery enviroment that is not of the asus but it seems of windows 10, like if the system doesn't recognize the recovery partition of asus anymore.
I've tried some solutions but nothing happen.

Here's some screens of my partitions and recovery enviroment state:
Is there any solution? i don't know what i have to do *Sad
Thanks in advance

Recreate ASUS F9 recovery functional partition


As many did, I upgraded my ASUS G751JY from Windows 8.x to Windows 10, and this destroyed ASUS F9 built-in recovery feature. When I press F9 now it will give me a BSOD with:

Your PC needs to be repaired
A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed.
Error code: 0xc0000225
[ A text saying I should use recovery tools on my installation media to fix the issue. ]
Press Enter to try again
Press F8 for Start-up Settings
Press Esc for UEFI Firmware Settings

This happens every time I want to use F9, then every time I have also to repair Windows boot (have no problem, I know how to do this and regenerate a correct BCD), so my idea now is to recreate a generic Windows 10 install partition working with ASUS F9 feature.

Here is my current situation:




but Recovery partition was Disabled.
No problem. I've managed to re-Enable it using the REAgentC command:

Code: C:\Users\Luca\Desktop>reagentc /info Informazioni di configurazione per Ambiente ripristino Windows e la reimpostazione del sistema: Stato Ambiente ripristino Windows: Enabled Percorso Ambiente ripristino Windows: \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition4\Recovery\WindowsRE Identificatore dati di configurazione di avvio (BCD): fc0612d5-20ce-11e6-8adf-9bc77791b978 Percorso immagine di ripristino: Indice immagine di ripristino: 0 Percorso immagine personalizzata: Indice immagine personalizzata: 0 REAGENTC.EXE: operazione riuscita.[/quote] ASUS F9 still not working giving me BSOD Erorr 225.

Following some guides on the net I've been also able to create a generic "install.wim" starting from MediaCreationTool's Windows 10 ISO file and "<mounted Windows 10 iso>:\sources\install.esd", using the DISM command:
dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:"MY_ESD_FILE" /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:install.wim /compress:recovery /CheckIntegrity

How do I proceed now?

• Add a new additional 4GB recovery partition with GUID ID: DE94BBA4-06D1-4D40-A16A-BFD50179D6AC
• copy "install.wim" into this partition (requires a specific dir structure or the root will be enough?)
• use "REAgentC /setosimage ..." and target to the new partition with the wim file

Is this correct? Will this make ASUS F9 work again? *sarc

 

Recreate ASUS F9 recovery functional partition


Let's see if I can find another G751JY user with working F9 so we can discover what's inside the 12GB recovery partition from ASUS...
Honestly I can't remember if I manually deleted the original partition or was wiped out by Windows 8.1 -> 10 upgrade (more likely).

...but unfortunately ASUS F9 still doesn't work as expected () and returns the usual BSOD Error 225 mentioned in first msg *Sad
Mmmh... I start to think F9 simply works by booting from the first Recovery partition it can find, usually put after C: on ASUS G751JY laptops as shown in this example pic coming from an online review:




Probably it expects to find something more than the install.wim file there as it asks for winload.efi pressing F8 after BSOD is displayed:




EDIT: maybe I could try copying the entire Windows 10 ISO inside the first recovery partition and see what happens pressing F9...
