Hi,
Kind thanks for your help. Below is my comments as required.
Windows Boot Manager
identifier {bootmgr}
device partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume4 <-- Should it be replaced with EFI
allocated disk Volume1?
"
I would expect it should say HarddiskVolume1 just as you suspect. That is your EFI partition going by its type in the Detail Disk you showed...
- So should I change it to Volume1? Is there any risk or this is an easy to proceed thingy? I honestly dont know how its allocated Volume4, since i didnt change nothing once received my laptop (only once i did a factory reset).
Let's see a Detail Part on partition 4 (which is your D:drive)...
DiskPart
Select Disk 0
Select Part 4
Detail Part
Exit
DIR D:\EFI\MICROSOFT\BOOT\BOOTMGFW.EFI /a <<<And is the file there?
(a) It should normally be a basic data partition: ebd0a0a2-b9e5-4433-87c0-68b6b72699c7
(b) And normally that folder & file shouldn't be on it. It should be on EFI.
(c) Are you booting to the Windows Boot Manager in BIOS Setup?
- Im not able to view EFI folder, im not sure even if its existing, is it hidden or something ? Any steps to check this ?
(3) Your ReagentC /Info indicates partition 6 is the Recovery partition...
Windows RE location: \?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition6\Recovery\WindowsRE
Judging from its size of 16 GB, it is a factory reset partition. So, a Reset would return the computer to its factory condition whatever that OS may be. If the computer came with Win 8.1, for instance, you'll end up back there. That could get messed up by doing an upgrade.
Have you upgraded the OS since purchase of the computer? Or did it come with 1909?
- Yes, this is my factory reset partition. Windows come along with 1903 version. But in Oct 2020 i did a factory reset and my windows updated up to 1909 version. Below is history per updates.
