Windows 10 Pro x64 v1909 update fails:
Issue seems to be caused by problems with WinRE, receiving the error if I also try to reset the PC.

  • I've tried resetting the ReAgent.xml [failed] and moving/restoring winre.wim to %WinDir%\system32\Recovery, then running reagentc /enabled [successful], but when I run /info again, it shows disabled and the winre.wim path is gone.

The solution is to use /OSguid for the Windows Boot Loader with Windows Boot Manager, not the Windows Recovery Environment or Windows Resume Application:

ReAgentc /Enable /OSguid {GUID}
  • Your GUID is listed as {current}, so run the following, which will give you the GUID, and you should be fine to enable it:
    BCDedit /V /Enum all

WinRE should not be stored on the system partition or the boot partition [BIOS], as it prevents booting to recovery should an issue with either partition occur


The default winre.wim location is NOT %WinDir%\system32\Recovery:

  • BIOS: (WinRE should be on it's own partition - only Windows 10 clean installs do so)
    • Windows ≥10: \\WinRE_partition\Recovery\WindowsRE
      (Upgrade: C:\Recovery\WindowsRE)
    • Windows ≤8.1: C:\Recovery\WindowsRE
  • UEFI: \\WinRE_partition\Recovery\WindowsRE

To Resolve, either #2 or #3: (ReAgentc)

  1. Open an Admin Terminal: WinKey+ROpen: powershellCTRL+SHIFT+OK
  2. Ensure winre.wim is within C:\Recovery\WindowsRE and set correct path:
    ReAgentc /Disable ; ReAgentC /SetREimage /Path "C:\Recovery\WindowsRE" ; ReAgentc /Enable ; ReAgentc /Info
    

    -- OR --

  3. Move WinRE to its own partition:
    1. Backup current winre.wim:
      1. Verify if C:\Windows\System32\Recovery\WinRE.wim exists:
        Ls "C:\Windows\System32\Recovery" | FindStr /I "WinRE.wim" ; ls "C:\Windows\System32\Recovery" -Hidden | FindStr /I "WinRE.wim"
        
      2. If it doesn't:
        Xcopy /H "C:\Recovery\WindowsRE\WinRE.wim" "C:\Windows\System32\Recovery"
        
        • BIOS: May store WinRE on Boot partition: Mount Boot at Y: → Update WIM path

    2. Create a 650MB WinRE partition: WinKey+ROpen: DiskPart → OK
      ::# WinRE partition should have ~300MB free for future winre.wim size increases
      

      ::# Select OS partition: sel vol c

      ::# Shrink partition by 665MB [RAW]: shrink desired=665 minimum=650

      ::# Create WinRE partition:

      ::# BIOS: cre par pri size=665 id=27

      ::# UEFI: cre par pri size=665 id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001

      ::# Format partition: format fs=ntfs quick label=WinRE

      ::# Mount partition: assign letter=z

      exit


    3. Disable WinRE, set custom location of winre.wim, and re-enable WinRE:
      # Copy WinRE.wim:
        MkDir "Z:\Recovery\WindowsRE" ; Xcopy /H "C:\Recovery\WindowsRE\WinRE.wim" "Z:\Recovery\WindowsRE"
      

      Disable WinRE:

      ReAgentC /Disable

      Set Custom WinRE Path:

      ReAgentC /SetREimage /Path "Z:\Recovery\WindowsRE"

      Enable WinRE:

      ReAgentC /Enable

      Verify:

      ReAgentC /Info

      Remove WinRE mount point:

      DiskPart sel vol z remove exit



To address a factually inaccurate misunderstanding that resulted in a downvote:

  • This answer, nor the OP's question, has anything to do with the BCD store:
    OP's issue is the default winre.wim location is not %WinDir%\system32\Recovery
