RecoveryEnvironmentAuthentication

Scope	Editions	Applicable OS
✅ Device ✅ User	✅ Pro ✅ Enterprise ✅ Education ✅ Windows SE ✅ IoT Enterprise / IoT Enterprise LTSC	✅ Windows 10, version 1809 [10.0.17763] and later

User

./User/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Security/RecoveryEnvironmentAuthentication

Device

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Security/RecoveryEnvironmentAuthentication

This policy controls the requirement of Admin Authentication in RecoveryEnvironment.

Validation procedure:

To validate this policy, check whether Refresh ("Keep my files") and Reset ("Remove everything") require administrator authentication in Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE).

1. First, start Push Button Reset (PBR) in WinRE. Open a command prompt as an administrator and run the following command: reagentc /boottore
2. The device should restart to WinRE. In the WinRE interface, go to Troubleshoot and select Reset this PC. You should see two options: Keep my files and Remove everything.
3. Choose the option to Keep my files. View the behavior for authentication.
4. Select the back arrow and choose Remove everything. View the behavior for authentication.

Instead of going back, alternatively you can go through the reset options, and select Cancel on the final confirmation page. It will then return to the main WinRE interface.

The following table shows what behavior is expected for the policy settings with each scenario:

• ✔️ It prompts for authentication.
• ❌ No authentication required, and it continues with the reset options.

Policy	Keep my files	Remove everything
Default (0)	✔️	❌
