    you need to extract the winre.wim from a mounted image and replace the missing one.
    "\Windows\System32\Recovery\Winre.wim"

    Those are the commands - I gave you... The problem is the Winre.wim is missing or has been deleted (usually by removing "Recovery" Partition without first disabling "Window Recovery").. You must now replace (Extract) the require file from the Installation Media
