#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : "Bootmgr is missing" / 0xc000000f / 0xc0000225 -- the boot configuration is broken Fix : Rebuild the EFI boot files Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-boot-repair Run as : Windows Recovery Environment Expect : 30 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX A UEFI machine. Nothing here touches the Windows partition's contents. HOW TO UNDO IT bcdboot can simply be run again -- it is idempotent. Export the store first with bcdedit /export if you want a copy. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
