Windows Recovery Environment unable to enable (Win10)

강민수 (Minsoo)

Hello, I've moved my recovery partition away from C: so I can expend it more.


I have successfully moved my WinRE.wim to the new recovery partition too, so the REAGENTC.exe can actually set the path to the new partition.


But somehow, setting the REAGENTC.exe /enable doesn't have any effect. Below are some status info.

with diskpart and reagentc, here is what happens

(vvv THINGS I TRIED vvv)


1. I am checking my diskpartition.

- The recovery partition has type recovery and label New Drive. It doesn't have any letter assigned to it


2. Then I check current state of REAGENTC.exe

- It is currently disabled


3. I set the recovery partition\recovery\WindowsRE (700MB) to the path of the WinRE.wim.

- It is successful


4. Then I enable the REAGENTC.exe a couple of times, but even after the /enable, they are still disabled.

In fact, when I try /disable, they appear already disabled.\


5. I have rebooted the device just in case...you know, conventional master key to issues.

Still doesn't enable.


I would appreciate any idea how to solve it...I'm quite tired of the problem now.
