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.

    Well the windows update stuck it at 0% installing for a while before this

    Edit: the windows secruity updates also got the same error as the WinRE updates.

    It's the WinRE security update. It fails because DISM reports "not enough memory" error during the commit. The Winre.wim size and version look fine; it's the base WIM.

    Please try an in-place upgrade.

    1. Download Windows 10 Media Creation Tool (MCT) from this link:

    It's moved to the C drive. Please see of you can install the update.

    If it still doesn't succeed, try extracting a new winre.wim from the Windows ISO. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-update/windows-10-updating-problems/9f1e8504-6461-4991-ad82-fcf64566a524?messageId=31b14158-c07e-4b87-be94-f66117f30c8d
