Hello,
I have an MSI GP62 6QF laptop running Windows 10.
I tried to do a factory reset using MSI recovery system, but after a few seconds I got the error "Reagentc.exe set OS image false" and then "Windows recovery failed! If you wish to recover it again, please reboot later.".
The problem is that I can no longer access the desktop, as the laptop now boots into Windows system recovery.
Can anyone help me?

Hello,
Reinstall Windows 10 from an installation media.
Reinstall Windows 10 without formatting:
Follow this tutorial that explains how to install Windows 10: how to install Windows 10.
All the steps are provided from A to Z with tips at the end to secure Windows 10.
The steps are roughly as follows:
If the USB drive doesn’t work, try making a new one with Rufus: how to download Rufus - see this tutorial for details: how to create a Windows installation USB drive
Just don't format.
Your user data will be copied into a subfolder of C.
Once Windows is installed, I advise you to follow these tips to properly configure and use Windows: Tips after reinstalling Windows.

It worked very well, the only downside is that I didn't have a Windows PC to create a bootable USB drive, so I looked around a bit and found the woeusb package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/woeusb-git/) for Arch Linux that works great.
Thank you also for your blog, very interesting!
there are other programs on Linux otherwise: https://www.malekal.com/creer-cle-usb-bootable/ :)
