FIGURE 9-2 This Windows RE menu provides access to essential troubleshooting and recovery tools.<br />
Table 9-1 lists the core functions available from the Advanced Options menu, many of which are<br />
direct descendants of recovery tools found in previous Windows editions. Note that on some devices<br />
you might see additional choices, including the option to access UEFI firmware settings or to roll back<br />
to a previous Windows version or preview build.<br />
TABLE 9-1 Advanced options for recovery.<br />
Option<br />
System Restore<br />
System Image Recovery<br />
Startup Repair<br />
Command Prompt<br />
Description<br />
You can use this option to choose a restore point created earlier and restore the<br />
system configuration.<br />
Choosing this option replaces everything on the computer with a system image,<br />
including images created using the Windows Backup utility from Windows 7 or later.<br />
(In Windows <strong>10</strong>, this utility is available in the desktop Control Panel. Under System<br />
& Security, choose File History, and then click the System Image Backup link in the<br />
lower-left corner.)<br />
If you choose this option, Windows attempts to diagnose and automatically correct<br />
common boot problems.<br />
This option opens an administrative command prompt, where you can use commandline<br />
tools such as Bootrec and Bcdedit.<br />
More Info To reach the UEFI Firmware Settings option via Windows RE on a UEFI-equipped<br />
tablet, power down the device, press and hold the Volume Down hardware button, and then<br />
press the Power button. This is the only way to enable or disable Secure Boot, for example.<br />
Click Startup Repair to manually attempt the same set of repairs Windows uses when it detects a<br />
failure and launches Windows RE automatically. (This feature was previously called Automatic Repair.)<br />
System Image Recovery requires a previously saved image from an external storage device.<br />
