Lets make the recovery partition
Open a CMD window as administrator and type:
diskpart
select disk 1
select vol C
shrink desired=1000
create par prim
format quick FS=NTFS label=Recovery
set id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac
assign letter=W
exit
Reagentc /setreimage /path W:\Recovery\WindowsRE
Reagentc /enable
Reagentc /info
diskpart
select vol W
remove letter=W
exit
The above Megahertz commands from post #11 just ruin your system and creates a Recovery of 952 GB!
Before you do anything you should check if you have the WinRe.wim
C:\WINDOWS\system32>dir /a /s c:\Windows\System32\winre.wim
If yes, then copy&paste:
diskpart
sel disk 1
create partition primary size=1024
format quick fs=ntfs label="Recovery"
assign letter=R
set id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac
gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001
exit
mkdir R:\Recovery\WindowsRE
Reagentc /enable
Reagentc /info
mountvol R: /D
Only if the Windows RE status is Enabled
you run the Windows Update again.
Verify command:
Dism /Get-ImageInfo /ImageFile:\\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition3\Recovery\WindowsRE\winre.wim /index:1

1) How was Windows installed?
a) What was done with the reserved partition?
b) What was done with the recovery partition?
2) Please run disk par info > post a share link

Why is the command "mkdir R:\Recovery\WindowsRE" in your instructions?
diskpart
sel disk 1
create partition primary size=1024
format quick fs=ntfs label="Recovery"
assign letter=R
set id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac
gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001
exit
mkdir R:\Recovery\WindowsRE
Reagentc /enable
Reagentc /info
mountvol R: /D
It is to make a Recovery\WindowsRE folder under the Recovery partition.
What is missing in my opinion is the instruction Reagentc /setreimage /path W:\Recovery\WindowsRE to place the recovery files on the Recovery\WindowsRE folder (no need if there was a recovery partition and a Recovery\WindowsRE folder under the Recovery partition that was deleted).

If the Recovery partition deleted then so is WinRE image as the Reagentc /enable command moves the WinRE image to Recovery Partition that is created from C:\Windows\System32\Recovery folder.
When you have that question I don't understand why you crossed out the command!
If @inPicton needs help, I guarantee that my instructions work. Anything that is confusing him is not helpfull at all.
The only open question is, whether he can find his WinRE.wim or he has to download a new ISO.
