Hi Hong,
Thanks for your reply.
We need fix the BCD first:
1. We could boot from a installation media and then choose “Repair your computer” to boot into Recovery mode.
2. run the following command line to fix the boot configuration.
** Bootrec /Rebuildbcd**
** Bootrec /fixboot**
** Bootrec /Fixmbr**
3. Then retry enable WinRE.
Best regards,
Yilia

Kindly check the BIOS settings.
If UEFI start ONLY is configured, Windows 10 will install with UEFI support.

Thank you all.
BIOS allows both UEFI and legacy modes.
When I run reagentc /enable, I get the following:
C:\windows\system32>reagentc /enable
REAGENTC.EXE: Unable to update Boot Configuration Data.

Thank you, Yilia.
To put a long store shore, I migrated Windows 10 from one SSD to another SSD, and did some BCD fix after the migration, and everything appears to be normal now. Here is what I get after Shift + Restart:

That does not seem correct to me because Advanced is not showing the recovery and repair options provided by the Windows Recovery Environment. Assuming that the Recovery partition is intact somewhere on your drive(s) you need to tell Windows where to find it.
First you need to run diskpart to find the disk and partition numbers of the recovery partition.
Then use ReAgentC and insert those numbers in a command like this to set the Windows RE path location:
reagentc /setreimage /path \?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition5\Recovery\WindowsRE
You then need to force Windows to write a new ReAgent.xml file
ReAgentC /Disable
Ren ReAgent.xml ReAgentOLD.xml
ReagentC /Enable
If that is all done correctly you should be back to the "usual 6" you showed in your first post.

Thank you for the tip. I don't think there is a recovery partition now. What should I do in this case?
