Can't create a Win 10 recovery drive

missing winre.wim

I'd have thought he'd have one after having done one repair...? Or would having the recovery environment disabled preclude that?
I can't see evidence of the status of his - probably missed it somewhere..

putting one in C:\Windows\System32\Recovery should be sufficient for building a recovery drive or a Macrium rescue usb.

Not yet, but plans to. From post #7.

As soon as I get some time I'll try and "repair" my Windows 10 (good thing in runs good for what I am doing now, just can't make a recovery disk).

Not necessarily... there are ways to put that back as it should be.

Bree posted one at the end of post #4



Presumably you did something nasty like delete the Recovery partition when the Recovery environment was enabled?

Post a screenshot of your partitions and also as Bree showed you the content of your Recovery partition.

Also the result of
reagentc /info
from an admin command prompt.

You hit it right on the head Bree. I've looked and can NOT find the Winre.wim file. Looks like I need a "clean" install of Windows 10??

As dalchina said, I posted earlier on how to get a winre.wim and where to put it.

SIW2 then provided a .zip for you in post #6 so you won't need to extract the files from an ISO.
