In my case after updating windows 10 pro (before this months update), and installing alot of apps and activating them, I wim'd Drive C and renamed it install.wim. Then the mediacreation tool had been used to create the iso file with it copied to MyRecovery partition, and the install.esd replaced with my wim'd install.wim. Then I can recover my drive C faster when needed with all my apps installed and activated. It is this install.wim that I'm in the process of mounting. However, I have another post about dism mounting issues where it errors out with a parse point errors. Hopefully, it doesn't do it now, but doesn't look good since its at 100% and wont come back with a success message and its still trying to decide if it wants to give me an error or a success message. Typically when it takes this long, its deleting all the files except User that was mounted on drive C:. Time will tell what it ends up doing - I'll need to wait and find out!
Ok, the mount error'd out with ERROR: 4394 the same error message I got before Hence I'll need to extract the winre.wim from the install.wim instead of relying on the dism mount. Maybe using poweriso to do it.
Note: reagentc.exe requires a config file specified by reagentcxml. I assume its the one in this recovery partition since reagentc /? help doesn't give the layout of this xml file.
1). reading the microsoft steps, it states that winre.wim is put in the C:\windows\system32\Recovery directory. This must be in the install.wim, since looking at drive C, there is nothing there except reagent.xml. Moreover, it says winre is installed on the HDD partition and must be NTFS.
It states,
Code:
store the recovery tools in a dedicated partition, directly after the windows partition.
This way, if future updates require a larger recovery partition, windows will be able to handle it more efficiently by adjusting the
windows and recovery partition sizes, rather than having to create a new recovery partition size while the old one remains in
place.
using diskpart, I see I have a hidden partition volume 7 with a Recovery subdirectory I can't see whats in it to see if it has winre.wim doing select volume 7 and then filesystems tells me it is ntfs. Thus it is correct filesystem type. This partition comes after drive C for the OS, and my two recovery partitions for win10pro and winsrvr2022, and my data archive partitions. I had read somewhere that the recovery needed to be at the end of the disk. So the above quoted text seems to be contradictory. Moreover, I have a gpt formatted Mywinre of 150 gigs that is empty too. The "Recovery" partition that windows creates is 521 MB with only 83.7MB free. This is the typical Recovery partition size. This could be resized if needed for a bigger winre.wim file to be copied there. However, the advance security setting shows administrators having full control for this folder and subfolders. The owner is SYSTEM. I'm not sure how I can see the contents of the "Recovery" subdirectory and yet not mess up the permissions that are required?

I used diskpart to assign a drive letter temporarily to my OS "Recover" volume which it assigned drive J. Since I couldn't get into the Recovery directory and lower even though I'm and administrator using file explorer, I tried from the adminstrator command prompt and it succeeded.
I ran "dir /q /s /a" and now I can see the Recover partition structure. The Recovery.txt file I added so that in the future I will have info on how to do things when I need to fix something.

Going to the directory where winre.wim is located, the directory content is hidden. Thus will need to unhide them to copy them out of this directory and look at the contents.

It also shows the location paths in the first two entries of the xml file that need to be assigned to reagentc again. I presume this is done by specifying this xml file as part of the config option when reagentc is run. However, the partition on the drive might of moved, thus not sure how to determine the offset # that is specified should it need to be changed?
I'm also reading the weblink specified above for the kb # in this forum for,
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...9-24c8229763bf
- - - Updated - - -
As part of the microsoft support weblink above, it states to delete the partition and reformat it. I assme that the content will be recreated as part of the KB update. Otherwise, where is it getting the winre.wim to modify before putting it here?
- - - Updated - - -
I think the offset # in question above that is part of the reagent.xml file is the one that diskpart -> list partition shows in the Offset column but in total # of bytes from the zero point on the disk.
The microsoft article above on the KB # sets the id and attribute, but doesn't say how to see the information. My "Recovery" is on partition 4.

Thus my attrib and id matches what microsofts KB # article says to set it to. So my current Recovery partition looks to be ok until I change the size of the partition. Moreover, it gives an offset #, I presume its this number that must be put in the Reagent.xml file which just so happens to match the xml file above.

The above is for WIn10Home with upgrade to 10pro on a fresh install laptop. Below is the C:\Windows\system32\Recovery\ReAgent.xml file on another laptop of exact same model, but was updated from windows 8.1 to windows 10 Home. Thus the reason probably for the downgrade entry listed below. For this laptop, the KB # installed ok.
Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

</WindowsRE>
So I don't know why Win10Home updated ok for the KB #, but not the fresh install win10pro laptop. The only difference is is the reagentc /info for the win10Home has its fields filed out, whereas the win10pro isn't setup properly. Moreover, the recovery directory has the OEM factory win8.1 Home install (not updated since the factory) still there which wasn't touched.
Code:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>reagentc /info
Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) and system reset configuration
Information:
Windows RE status: Enabled
Windows RE location: \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition7\Recovery\WindowsRE

Recovery image location: \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition7\Dell\Image
Recovery image index: 1
Custom image location:
Custom image index: 0
REAGENTC.EXE: Operation Successful.
I'm still trying to fix the win10pro for reagentc /info

The help for diskpart assign says this,
You cannot assign drive letters to boot volumes or
volumes that contain the paging file. In addition, you cannot assign
a drive letter to an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partition
unless booted to Windows PE, or any GUID Partition Table (GPT) partition
other than a basic data partition, an ESP partition or a recovery
partition.
What tool can I use to dump the contents of at least the OEM partition? I know that I need to use windows PE to see the OEM, but since my windows PE or winre.wim is currently not working properly, is there an alternative way to do this?

I selected each volume to remove the drive letter using "remove letter=G for volume 1 and so on. Below shows the partitions for OEM, and Recovery. (note: don't confuse the partition type "Recovery" with an assigned volume label called "Recovery". In my case partition 4 size of 750 MB matches volume 2 "WINRETOOLS"). Thus, if creating a partition to reinstall windows, it's probably best to call it "RESTORE" or "MYRESTORE" vs. "MYRECOVERY" so its not confused with the partition type name.
Code:
DISKPART> sel disk 0
Disk 0 is now the selected disk.
DISKPART> list vol
