How Do You Create the Windows Recovery Environment from Scratch Using Command Prompe or PowerShell or a 3rd-Party App from if the SFC, DISM, Bootrec Don't Work

Question

Hi Microsoft friends.

How do you create the Windows Recovery Environment (Winre) from scratch using Command Prompt, PowerShell or a 3rd-party app if the SFC, DISM, Bootrec don't work (msconfig also doesn't work)? Some .exe work, some don't, some .msc work, some don't. The Windows 11 boots fine (it's on GPT filesystem not MBR). The file Winre.wim is there but when I Shift-Restart it doesn't show the Winre upon bootup.

Also if I check say Disk Management, there is an EFI partition (just a few hundred megabytes) infront of the drive C: partition).

Thank you. God bless you.

P.S. Microsoft friends, could you add in the Topics drop-down a new option called 'Repair'? Thanks.

Answer 1

Have you already looked at this?

create recovery drive windows 11 site:microsoft.com - Search (bing.com)

There is this too in the Control Panel.

Answer 2

Thanks, my Windows can boot thought/can start. I could try that too, will that fit in an 8GB flashdrive or 16GB flashdrive? Is that the same as a Windows 11 USB installer made my Media Creation Tool or Rufus or Yumi?

Also won't Recovery if it's similar to cloning, also copy some of the corrupted files (it's booting fine, some .exe just won't launch even after a reinstall of that app and uninstalling it first and anti-virus uninstalled as well, disbaled the Firewall too)?

Thanks.
