System Unexpectedly Reboots Into Recovery Mode Then Enters Factory Restore

Issue

When system reboots and boots up to recovery mode it selects “Factory Capture” by default leading the system to commit a full factory restore upon pressing “enter”.

Solution

Windows

  1. Open CMD, using Run as Administrator
  2. Enter mountvol z: /s
  3. Enter z:
  4. Enter dir
  5. Enter cd EFI/BOOT
  6. Enter notepad refind.conf
  7. Search for the default_selection entry
  1. Set the parameter to “1” instead of “factory restore”
  1. Save your changes and reboot the NVR

Linux System

The file at ‘/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/refind.conf’ will need to be edited in the same way it is for the Windows instructions. Instead we would follow these steps:

  1. Open Terminal (CTRL+ALT+T)
  2. Enter sudo -i
  3. Enter caja (this should open a file explorer type window)
  4. Navigate to /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/refind.conf
  5. Right-click and open file a text editor
  6. Edit the text as shown in Step 6 of the Windows instructions above.
  7. Save your changes, close the file, and restart the system

System Recovery using on-board recovery partition

Exacq systems built after 10/17/2015 include a special partition to allow for quick and easy system restoration to factory default conditions. This recovery will only affect your operating system drive.

<br>

To start the Recovery, during system boot up, prior to loading the operating system, press the “S” key on your keyboard.

You will be prompted to confirm:

Press the “Y” key on the keyboard once and the system recovery will complete itself. Follow any prompts to continue, should they appear. The entire process often only takes a few minutes, but depends on the system.

After the recovery process completes, follow any on-screen setup guides to complete system setup if they are prompted for your system.
