You have several ways to boot Windows 11/10 into the Windows Recovery Environment. But it depends on the state of the operating system. For example, does Windows work? Or are you having trouble even accessing your desktop? In any case, the methods described below have got you covered.
Once Windows Recovery Environment has loaded, read to learn more about the System Recovery options that you can use to fix Windows 11/10.
Boot via Start Menu
Assuming you can boot into Windows 11 or Windows 10, the most convenient way to get into the Windows recovery environment is to restart your computer as usual from the Start menu.
The only thing you need to do is press and hold the Shift key while selecting the Restart option.
Boot via Settings App
The Settings app in Windows 11 and Windows 10 has a dedicated option to restart your computer into the Windows Recovery Environment. The above method is faster, but it can be helpful if you have problems with the Start menu.
Start by pressing Windows + I to open the Settings app. Then go to System (or Update & Security in Windows 10)> Recovery and select the Restart Now option under Advanced Startup.
Boot via Security Screen
You can also configure Windows 11/10 to boot from the system recovery options via the security screen. This is the best method for dealing with a frozen operating system.
Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to open the security screen. Then select the power icon in the lower right corner of the screen, hold down the Shift key and select Restart.
Boot via Lock Screen
If you’re having trouble logging into Windows 11 or Windows 10, you can try booting into Windows Recovery Environment through the lock screen. Select the power icon again and select Restart while holding down the Shift key.
Boot via Windows PowerShell
The Windows PowerShell console (accessed from the list of programs on the Start menu) offers another way to boot the Windows Recovery Environment. Just type the following command and hit Enter:
shutdown / r / o
By default, Windows should boot into WinRE within 30 seconds. If you run into problems, try rerunning the command with additional parameters. This forcibly closes all programs and instantly reboots the operating system:
turn off / r / o / f / t 0
Another command that can help you access system recovery options is the reagentc / boottore command. However, you must run it in an elevated Windows PowerShell console and then manually restart the computer.
Boot via Hardware Recovery Button
It is also possible to access WinRE by pressing a specific function key (such as F11, F10, or F9) on your PC immediately upon startup. Don’t expect it to work on every desktop or laptop.
Boot via Automatic Repair
If Windows 11 or Windows 10 won’t load or freezes on startup, you can force your PC to enter the Windows Recovery Environment by forcibly shutting it down three times. To do this, press and hold the power button until the screen turns off.
After the third attempt, under the Windows 11/10 logo, the words “Preparing for Automatic Repair” should appear on the screen. When prompted to log into WinRE, select Advanced Options.

Boot via Using Installation Media
If you have a Windows 11/10 installation USB drive or disc, you can use that to enter the Windows Recovery Environment. If you have configured your computer to boot from USB or DVD, press any key when your computer asks you to do so at startup.
In the Windows Setup program that appears later, choose Next> Repair Your Computer.
Using the Windows System Recovery Options
After entering the Windows Recovery Environment, you must select Troubleshoot> Advanced Options to access system recovery options. Or you can select Continue to boot Windows 11/10 or Turn Off Computer to exit and shut down your computer.
Here’s a rundown of the System Restore options that you have access to in WinRE:
Startup Repair: Asks your PC to perform a series of automatic repairs and helps fix issues that prevent Windows 11 or Windows 10 from booting. Your best bet is to run this when troubleshooting Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors.
Startup Options: This allows you to change the default startup behavior of the operating system. For example, you can use it to start Windows 11/10 in Safe Mode.
Command Line: Loads the command line console. You can use it to run various command line tools like System File Checker and Check Disk Utility.
Uninstall updates: If an issue occurs immediately after applying a feature or quality update for Windows 11/10, this option allows you to rollback.
UEFI Firmware Settings: Helps you quickly access UEFI firmware settings.
System Restore: If you have configured System Restore in Windows 11/10, this option allows you to undo malicious changes by returning your computer to an earlier state.
System Recovery Image: Lets you use a System Recovery Image to recover data on your computer.
Reset this PC: This option is available after you select Troubleshoot in WinRE. You can use it to reset Windows 10 or Windows 11 to factory settings. You also get the opportunity to keep your personal data intact.
Start Fixing Windows 11/10
Using the System Restore options in Windows Recovery Environment is not a solution to all problems encountered in Windows 11 and Windows 10. If problems continue to occur, you can take this additional step and reinstall Windows from scratch.
