Windows recovery environment как убрать

• The menu where you can choose which device to boot from is built into the firmware and cannot be easily removed.

  The menu that specifically shows Windows vs WinRE can be changed by editing the BCD. I would not recommend making changes to the BCD without testing it on non-essential system first. Or at least know how to backup and restore your BCD in case you end up
  not being able to boot your OS.

  I cloned my disk to make tests but my target is to remove completely WinRE because I don’t want to permit users to modify/restore OS or to run live cdrom by WinRE interface. I’d like to run directly OS, without possibilty to execute/run recovery environment.

  I tried these commans but unsuccessfully:

  bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled No
  bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures
  bcdedit /set {bootmgr} displaybootmenu No

  I noted user can invoke WinRe by pressing shift key and restart.
  Do you command to remove completely WinRE by bcdedit?

  thanks

• Hi,

  Excuse but you did’t understand my problem.

  I already disabled WinRE according to your suggestions ( reagentc /disable ) but when I keep pressed shift key and I restart Windows 10, WinRE menu starts again.

  Yes, It’s true ! I don’t see options to restore OS but I can choose «to use a device» option, e.g. to boot from external cd/usb device.

  So my target is to delete/destroy completely WinRE, loading OS immediately.
  If I was need to restore my OS I’ll use Windows 10 installation disk (usb/dvd).

  I’ll appreciate your suggestions.
  thanks

• If you have a backup image the Windows recovery partition can be deleted.

• Hi,

  Thank you for your feedback.  

  I found a related article How to disable Windows Recovery Environment to prevent unauthorized system restores
  which says Note: WinRE will still be accessible, though features such as the CLI do incorporate support for authentication and will not run anonymously the way that System Restore did prior to being disabled.

  So I think it would be not available to disable WinRE totally.  By the way, if we could disable WinRE, other customer also available to boot into WinRE through USB disk or DVD disk. As the bootable measure is changeable through BISO settings
  which prior to system boot, so it would be not available to achieve your desire.

  I already delete Windows recovery partition but this didn’t solve my problem.

  When I keep pressed shift key and I reboot system Windows RE (blue scrren) starts again with several options.

  It’s not «reset your pc» but I can choose «use a device» to boot from external cd to reinstall OS!

  I thank you very much, I already read this article and I tried it unsuccessfully; I applied all suggestions for bcdedit indicated on site but when I reboot + shift key Computer showed me blu screen with these 4 options:

  continue

  use a device

  troubleshooting

  turn off computer

  I disabled boot options in BIOS to not permit that OS can start with both usb device and cdrom device, infact if I turn on computer OS starts from hd even if usb/cdrom device is plugged.

  Altough I disabled cdrom boot in bios, shift + reboot permits me to boot from cdrom.

• I did a test deployment and while I can still get to the boot menu using SHIFT, there is no extended options. It has Continue, Troubleshoot, Restart. Inside of Troubleshoot there is only Startup Settings and UEFI Firmware settings. In none of these menus
  does it give an option to run recovery or boot off of a device. Note that for my test I am using System Builder Kit media. Here is the method used:

  Run diskpart script:

  sel disk 0
  clean
  convert gpt
  
  create part efi size=260
  format fs=fat32 quick label="System"
  assign letter="s"
  
  create part msr size=16
  
  create part pri
  format fs=ntfs quick label="Windows"
  assign letter="w"
  
  exit

  DISM /APPLY-IMAGE /IMAGEFILE:z:\folder\w10proaudit1903dsp.wim /INDEX:1 /APPLYDIR:W:\
  del w:\windows\system32\recovery\winre.wim /a:hs
  bcdboot w:\windows /s s: /f UEFI

  As you can see on image about non allocated space I already destroyed this partition but Win RE (blue screen menu) always exists, infact I can invoke it by shift command+restart

• Ok, thanks.

  I don’t understand because I see ‘use a device’ option too.

  How can apply your script to environment of my pc according to attached images?

• This is installs forum, that is why I wrote the post like that.

  If it were me, I would capture the OS volume, erase the disk, create the paritions as I want and then re-deploy the OS.
