BCD (Boot Configuration Data) is incorrect after the recovery on uEFI system.

WORKAROUND:
1. Boot from SRD.
2. Run "bcdedit" and confirm the string in "device" or "osdevice" is not "Partition=C:" in Windows Boot Loader.
3. Run "diskpart".
4. Run below in diskpart utility.

list disk
select disk 0
list volume   <<<<< Please find the volume number of your C drive.
select volume X <<<<< X is the volume number of your C drive. In general, X is 1 on many systems.
assign letter=C <<<<< Please confirm the message "DiskPart successfully assigned the drive letter or mount point." is returned.
list volume  <<<<< Please confirm C drive is assigned.
exit

5. Run below.

bcdedit /set {DEFAULT} device partition=C:  <<<< Please confirm the message "The operation completed successfully." is returned.
bcdedit /set {DEFAULT} osdevice partition=C: <<<< Please confirm the message "The operation completed successfully." is returned.

6. Run "exit"
7. Boot from SRD again.

Drive letters are not assigned automatically when booting from System Recovery Disk after the recovery on uEFI system.
