How does Windows 11, "bootrec /scanos" identify the Windows 11 OS? and
How can the: "Total Identified Windows installations: 0" be fixed?

Problem: When running bootrec /scanos from Windows Recovery Environment no Windows installations are found, even when clearly one is there.

Scenario: A Windows 11 Pro Hyper-V VM, UEFI-GPT boot.

Already tried: I have tried various proposed solutions including:

  • Disk Cleanup
  • export & re-import the VM,
  • Chkdisk /r /f
  • sfc /scannow
  • DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Much of the information I found is out of date and relates to BIOS-MBR and any steps to try fix appear not to work, including:

  • bootrec /FixBoot
  • bcdboot c:\Windows /l en-UK /s z: /f: UEFI /v (where z: was the drive letter mapped to the EFI FAT32 partition)
  • bootrec /rebuildbcd

Thanks
