Reagentc disabled, and NO OPTIONS in ADVANCED Starup

Hello,

I've fairly fresh install of Windows 10 PRO. I wanted to go to Safe Mode to check a few things, but this is what popped up after holding SHIFT when clicking on Restart
Dropbox - W10.jpg

Quite a shocker to me.

Now, I've tried to solve it myself and got this far:

1. Reagentc is disabled
And Reagentc /enable does nothing. It says it finished sucessfully, but when Reagentc /info, I always get message that it is disabled.

2. SFC / Scannow completed sucessfully
But anyway, I downloaded the MS tool to do a repair renistall.
Did few steps, the tool downloaded necessary stuff and...

3. Windows 10 install tool said it could not detect, whether I got enough free space on the drive (WTF??)
To be clear, I have almost 300 GB of free space.


Otherwise, the system performs great.
Now, is there any option to fix it quickly and avoid any waste of time?

Thank you very much!
Jan.

I have already tried that, and as you can see from the screenshot, this is where the problem originates



Thanks,
Jan.

You will have to post a screenshot of disk management so we can see where the recovery partition is - or if there is one:
Disk Management - How to Post a Screenshot of - Windows 10 Tutorials

Also, the output from reagentc /info will help us too:

Thanks for the replies. Tbh I haven't tried the 2nd a 3rd option to Safe mode boot yet, but will try as soon as I need it.

Here is the screenshot of the Disk management
(please note that the unallocated 46.58GB space is over-provisioning for the SSD disk).


And here is what reagentc /info reports

Many thanks!

PS: The site might be showing I'm no Pavilion laptop (which is still true), but the problem is related to HP 6300 Microtower. Just in case this made a difference.

Looks like you need to run in a command prompt (admin):

reagentc /setreimage /path \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition1\Recovery\WindowsRE
reagentc /enable

NOTE: there is a space between /path and \\

Done that... still not running

I've been running for almost a month without Disk 1.
Connected it just yesterday to troubleshoot this... so, safe to say Disk 1 has nothing to do with it.
