#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : "There was a problem resetting your PC" -- Reset this PC fails Fix : Restore the recovery environment Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-rec-reset-failed Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 40 minutes Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX reagentc reports the environment is disabled or missing. HOW TO UNDO IT reagentc /disable returns it to the previous state. 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.
