This error will not go away I kid you not. After increasing my recovery partition to 1GB and yet still there, ive already digged into the web deep enough and yet not even working. And no, I don't use bitlocker, just please get this annoyance off.

These 2 updates are the reason holding me back from updating windows properly

WinRE is now updated.

Your earlier output posted today.

The latest output.

It's good now.

You can update the WinREVersion registry value here if it's not already updated.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

Hopefully, WU will no longer offer that update.

    For some reason regedit version value haven't been updated so ill update it

    And yet windows update didn't offer the update no more.

    Finally, solved.

    Glad to hear that, Andrew. 👍

    IIRC, the offline installation method doesn't update the registry value. Has to be done manually.

    I suppose unmount was run before get-imageinfo. That's the right order.

    Anyway, the WIM is now properly updated.

    Version : 10.0.19041

    ServicePack Build : 5363

    That's the latest WinRE version:

    Now, to move Winre back to the recovery partition, run the following and post the output.

    attrib -s -h -r c:\windows\system32\recovery\winre.wim 

attrib -s -h -r c:\winre\winre.wim 

ren c:\windows\system32\recovery\winre.wim winre.wim.old2 

md \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition4\Recovery 

md \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition4\Recovery\WindowsRE 

copy c:\winre\winre.wim \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition4\Recovery\WindowsRE\ 

copy c:\winre\winre.wim c:\windows\system32\recovery\ 

reagentc /setreimage /path \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition4\Recovery\WindowsRE 

reagentc /enable 

reagentc /info 

Dism /Get-ImageInfo /ImageFile:\\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition4\Recovery\WindowsRE\winre.wim /index:1
