There are multiple ways to access the Windows Recovery Environment on a computer running Windows 10. When Windows 10 fails to boot and restart two times, the Windows Recovery Environment will show up on the screen automatically. WinRE is preloaded into the Windows 10 Home, Pro, Education and Enterprise editions.
