While Windows 10 is great as a mining OS, there is one annoying problem I have which I never had too much of a problem with in Windows 7.
With Windows 7, if the machine isn't shut down properly, on next boot, it will ask u if you want to go into safe mode. A 30 second timer will auto select to boot Windows normally. That timer has saved me from having to manually hit enter whenever a rig has had issues.
With Windows 10, its all about "use your mouse". If you forcefully restart your machine without shutting down properly after 3 times, the Recovery screen appears on bootup. Problem now is that there is no timer. You have to manually click "Restart my PC" in order for things to go back to normal.
My rigs are stable. However, lately, the power supply coming to my server room hasn't been. So lately, the machines have been having 5-10 second power outages several times a day. While my Windows 7 rigs boot up normally after that 30 second timer, my Windows 10 rigs sit at this damn recovery screen and waits for me to select "Restart my PC". Being a mining rig, this is not good. I've lost lots of valuable mining power while the rig waits for me to connect a mouse and keyboard, and select "Restart my PC".
What i'd like to know, is how to disable this stupid recovery screen. I did some googling and tried several things such as going into command prompt with administrator priveledges and typing the following:
bcdedit /set bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures
bcdedit /set recoveryenabled No
bcdedit /set {default} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures
bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled No
Windows tells me that the commands have been accepted, however when I test a hard reboot after 3 times, that stupid Recovery screen reappears again on bootup.
Someone please tell me how to make it boot normally no matter what happens! (powercut, BSOD, etc) Thanks

What I've found so far with this screen, is if I remote cycle the power again, it'll boot. I can't confirm that this always the case, but it has been for a couple times I needed it.
bcdedit /set {globalsettings} advancedoptions false
Or possibly:

The element data type specified is not recognized, or does not apply to the
specified entry.
Run "bcdedit /?" for command line assistance.
Element not found.
The command is only accepted if I replace "default" with "{default}"
Greetings!
if there is no recovery partition how can recovery mode start?
I read the stupid thread, and I offered a possible solution, DID I [email protected]!?!?!?!?!?! its just an idea... would it work? I dont know, and i dont give a sh!t... but you could try it.. if you dont want to then fine... you dont have to be a pretentious prick about it...
its great you know how to use a search engine and try what others have said... but can you think for yourself? is google your brain? at least when implants come out you really wont need to waste the space in your head that your "brain" currently takes up... as you dont use it anyhow!!! just take it out and put something useful there like a plant......................... considering your already a vegetable.. should suit you well
and you SAVE GIGABYTES ON YOUR SSD WHEN YOU DELETE THE RECOVERY PARTITION!!!
really... what is wrong with people.. can't people think for themselves anymore...
abusive... is dealing with such ignorant people! flag that!
At first shut the fuck up and write normal, are you a small child or do you have a brain damage?
And second, i never asumed you have to use this!
And third, OP didnt write about the recovery partition, only you.
And now go in the corner and wank a bit, worthless piece of shit.
you can use a USB key and make a recovery! the OP wrote about not wanting to use the recovery.. so I gave an alternative response to editing BCD... it would get rid of the recovery at boot!!! which was his main problem!
Why you so pretentious and ignorant?...
I didn't even bother to reply to his childish comments.
expect it back
an eye for an eye
you could have been nice and just said you dont want to try deleting your recovery partition, that you only want to use BCD edits... fine... but you insulted me and asked if I even read the thread... ofcoarse I read the thread... I speak english unlike house.
and you have posted other insulting comments "hasselling" people on here recently also
if you ask me, YOU are the one who wants to cause trouble on here.. I post honest replies
I have helped people solve problems on here.. Im not like you, the one asking for help! I post real honest answers to people and sometimes have helped people get their rigs working! thats pretty good for someone who just joined! most people on here just want, they dont give... i dont want,.. i just give!
and honestly I just gave you an alternative solution, that would probably work if the recovery was your main concern.. I was only trying to help you and I did find "did you even read this thread" a bit insulting because yes I did, and I posted a different solution than the one you were trying and you did not answer me at all on my possible fix. I would have appreciated a direct response to my help reply rather than my reading ability and assumed ignorance...
Yes, english is not my native language.
But your reaction says all.
Yes i said needed but i meant it not in this context that you need it on your harddrive.
Now iam out, have a nice day
and Great, you AGREE with me, you CAN DELETE IT and that should FIX hashers problem. Problem SOLVED! Solution FOUND! Main concern ANSWERED!
my reaction is to ignorance ... it is shocking how ignrant people can be on here. I dont claim to know nearly everything, but I'm not going to post ignorant comments without doing some research or experimenting... they might not always be correct, but they have some basis...
House86... why do you send me this PM? why are you so PRETENTIOUS and think you are better than others??? just becuase I am new.. means I am not as good or human as you ??? I have no power here? did i want power here? do you have some sort of power here? is that how you get off???
ofcoarse I dont expect you to identify my response as a possible solution ... as it is a possible solution to your question... you were a dick to me and that is not going to change.. I have NOT insulted anyone prior to being insulted by you and that liar house.
and Im not the first person to call you out for trying to cause shit.
let us just leave this as is.. my solution was a VALID RESPONSE TO YOUR CONCERN. you asking me if I read the thread was INSULTING.
I came here to learn, and if possible, help others learn... not to get insulted or fight...
lets drop this and move on.. your problem should be more than solved now, throught he BCD edits OR through Deleting the Recovery partition...
You write my pm public?
No problem with that, people know me here and you are the only one with problems with me.
You mock my lacking english and post shit in a thread nobody wants to read.
What's the point of your behavior?
Do you didnt get enough hugs from your mum or is your vagina itching?
You can tell me, iam here for you and I can send you a bit vagiclean If it helps.
you can post my reply to your PM, i dont care either.
the point is you are the one not dropping insulting.
I have been very rational and polite in my replies today. I overreacted in my initial post yesterday, I will admit to that.
and its not that I have a problem with you, you have a problem with ME... did I reply to you with insults? I may have insulted hasher back after his reply.. let's face it.. i TOOK THE TIME TO READ THE THREAD AND POSTED A VALID RESPONSE... inferring that I did not even read the thread was insulting. I am the one who was insulted.. no one can tell me that I was not insulted as I DECIDE THAT
Your PM is not a tip.. it is a THREAT.. don't threaten people
blackwolf is right though - on a default, clean win10 install, it creates a hidden 500mb recovery partition. This partition contains winre.wim which is the 'advanced startup and debug shit'. On some installs this winre.wim file is installed on c:\windows\system32\recovery\ folder.
The command "bcdedit /set {current} bootstatuspolicy ignoreallfailures" will stop windows from booting into the recovery mode. The trick is to normally restart the PC after running the command. In my testing I found that the command does not get applied unless you first restart the PC. Tested on a clean win10 enterprise install, with the latest updates. Your mileage may vary. Replacing {current} with {default} should also work.
Deleting the recovery partition will not work because windows will still point to the non existing partition which will throw another error.
what error does it produce? i see a lot of people just delete it in windows 10 after install
