Symptoms
Assume that you start Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) from the Boot Options menu on a Windows RT-based, Windows 8-based, or Windows Server 2012-based computer. You use the "Refresh your PC" feature or the "Reset your PC" feature to restore Windows. In this situation, the restore process may fail. Then, the computer cannot start.
Cause
This issue occurs because the SYSTEM registry key in the offline image is corrupted.
Note Before Windows is restored, a check is performed on the recovery image to retrieve certain properties (such as version information). The information is retrieved by using Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) APIs. The check fails when the corrupted registry keys cannot be retrieved successfully.
