Disable Recovery Environment Windows 8.1

Posted by charlesadams2

Windows 8

Hey Folks,

I have an HP mini PC that my company wants to use to remotely access a client's site.  I've set the PC to turn on after power loss in the BIOS settings, but I've come across an issue where it boots into the recovery environment and does not move passed it without choosing recovery tools or restart.  This is a problem for us as remotely we will not have anyone on-site to manually enter a choice.

Is there any way to disable the recovery environment or change some settings so that the PC can boot straight to Windows?

  • A Couple of bcdedit commands should do it

    bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures

    bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled No

    Or if you just want to ignore shutdown failures use this one only

    BCDEdit /set bootstatuspolicy ignoreshutdownfailures
