Lots of articles online indicates adding a AllowRefsFormatOverNonmirrorVolume DWORD key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MiniNT in reigstry.

This is wrong. The MiniNT section is to indicate the system is a WinRE or WinPE system, thus certain USBccid devices’ driver won’t load. Including SmartCard reader, Windows Hello (mostly implemented as an internal USB camera).

很多教程提到在註冊表裡添加HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MiniNT項,並添加名為AllowRefsFormatOverNonmirrorVolume的DWORD值。

其實這是錯誤的利用了WinRE啟用了ReFS作為系統盤的功能。在正常的系統中出現MiniNT項會導致系統認為這是WinRE系統,從而不加載基於USB的驅動,包括智能卡讀卡器和Windows Hello 驅動(很多 Windows Hello 攝像頭是通過USB連接的)。
