However, this image file doesn&rsquo;t show in Windows File Explorer as it doesn&rsquo;t have a drive letter.

However, the following techniques may cause data loss if not performed correctly. Hence, we suggest you take a backup of your system data or recover it using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/windows-data-recovery-professional.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">professional data recovery software<\/a>.<\/p><p>To solve the error, follow the given DIY methods:<\/p><h4>Method 1: Enable Windows recovery environment<\/h4><p align=\"justify\">Sometimes, your Windows recovery environment could be disabled, due to which you may have problems resetting your system and encounter a &lsquo;Windows 10 could not find the recovery environment&rsquo; error. Try enabling the Windows recovery environment with the following steps:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open Command Prompt and run it as administrator. (<em>You can also perform this method in Windows PowerShell<\/em>.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type <strong>reagentc \/info<\/strong> and press <strong>Enter<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the WinRE status shows disabled, type <strong>reagentc \/enable<\/strong> to enable it.<\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"707\" height=\"463\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/enable-Windows-recovery-environment-image-2.jpg\" alt=\"Enable Windows Recovery Environment\" class=\"wp-image-83450 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/enable-Windows-recovery-environment-image-2.jpg 707w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/enable-Windows-recovery-environment-image-2-300x196.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 707px) 100vw, 707px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Let the process end. Once it starts showing you a successful message, close the window and restart your system. Now, try resetting it and check if the problem is solved.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h4>Method 2: Fix the Corrupted or Missing WinRE.Wim<\/h4><p align=\"justify\">The WinRE.Wim image file may be missing or corrupted, due to which you may encounter the error while resetting your system. Locate the WinRE.Wim file on C: drive by following the given steps:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Run command prompt as administrator, type <strong>dir \/a \/s c:\\winre.wim,<\/strong> and hit <strong>Enter<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once you find the file and if it is valid, type <strong>Reagentc \/setreimage \/path C:RecoveryWindowsRE<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p align=\"justify\"><em>If the file is corrupted, you need to get a new copy of WinRE from another Windows 10 system, which should be disabled (you can enable it later.) Then, place it on C: drive recovery path using the above-given command.<\/em><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Now verify the WinRE file path by typing <strong>reagentc \/info<\/strong> command.<\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"596\" height=\"312\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fix-corrupted-missing-winre-wim-file-image-3.jpg\" alt=\"verify WinRE file path by typing reagentc \/info command\" class=\"wp-image-83451 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fix-corrupted-missing-winre-wim-file-image-3.jpg 596w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fix-corrupted-missing-winre-wim-file-image-3-300x157.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 596px) 100vw, 596px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><p>Wait until the process completes.

It controls whether it has to load the recovery environment.<\/p><p align=\"justify\">Maybe the boot loader is finding a wrong location due to which you&rsquo;re facing &lsquo;could not find the recovery environment Windows 10 error&rsquo; on your system. You may check and fix the WinRE reference in the boot loader by following the given steps to eliminate this issue.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Run Command Prompt as administrator or open PowerShell.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type <strong>bcdedit \/enum all<\/strong> and press <strong>Enter<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check if the <strong>identifier<\/strong> status shows as <strong>Current<\/strong> in <em>Windows Boot Loader<\/em> and note down the GUID given against the <em>recoverysequence<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"676\" height=\"821\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fix-WinRE-Reference-in-Windows-Boot-Loader-image-4.jpg\" alt=\"fix WinRE Reference in Windows Boot Loader\" class=\"wp-image-83452 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fix-WinRE-Reference-in-Windows-Boot-Loader-image-4.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fix-WinRE-Reference-in-Windows-Boot-Loader-image-4-247x300.jpg 247w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensure that the <strong>OSdevice<\/strong> items show the WinRE.Wim file path is similar to the device.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Afterward, type <strong><em>bcdedit \/set {current} recoverysequence <\/em><\/strong>and hit <strong>Enter<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, let the process finish, and once done, close the window.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reboot your system and check if you can reset it now.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h4>Method 4: Use Windows 10 installation media<\/h4><p align=\"justify\">If you&rsquo;re unable to fix the &lsquo;Windows 10 could not find the recovery environment&rsquo; error, try using Windows 10 installation media to reset your system and bypass this error.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take a new or formatted USB drive of at least 8 GB.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Download the media creation tool and save the executable files.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, right-click on the executable file and select Run as administrator.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Follow the on-screen instructions to create a USB installation media.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, reboot your system and choose to boot the PC\/laptop from the USB drive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, the system will open in the automatic repair environment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proceed and on the <strong>Troubleshoot<\/strong> page, click <strong>Reset your PC<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"441\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/select-reset-your-pc-from-troubleshoot-window-image-5.jpg\" alt=\"Troubleshoot  &gt; click Reset your PC\" class=\"wp-image-83453 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/select-reset-your-pc-from-troubleshoot-window-image-5.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/select-reset-your-pc-from-troubleshoot-window-image-5-300x276.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><p align=\"justify\">Now, you&rsquo;ve got the options to keep your data or remove everything.
