0x00000007 error when you start a computer into Windows Recovery Environment in Windows 8.1

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Assume that you have a computer that is running Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1. The computer uses the Windows image file (WIM) boot feature, and the computer has 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM. In this situation, this issue occurs. 

↑ Back to the top

Cause

This issue occurs because the Windows Boot Manager (Bootmgr.exe) allocates a large temporarily buffer in RAM to read the WIM file when the computer starts into Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE). When the computer has 1 GB RAM, the allocation fails.
