Thanks but how do you copy it to the created recovery or will the update creat it?
The WinRE.wim should be there:
C:\Windows\System32\Recovery\Winre.wim
If yes,
cmd (admin)
mkdir R:\Recovery\WindowsRE
xcopy /h C:\Windows\System32\Recovery\Winre.wim R:\Recovery\WindowsRE
xcopy /h C:\Windows\System32\boot.sdi R:\Recovery\WindowsRE
If there is no WinRE.wim you need an ISO as a source!
otherwise:
cmd (admin)
Reagentc /setreimage /path R:\Recovery\WindowsRE /target C:\Windows
reagentc /enable
reagentc /info
all these instructions will erase what was on the partition.
You must enlarge the partition without losing data. See the instructions are in CZ.

Just to chime in: deployed this CU lot earlier today - out of curiosity really, normally would hold on up until early next week - and it all installed without any problems after couple of restarts.
For what it's worth: my PC has original setup & configuration partition-wise - as supplied by HP in Jan 2017 - with (obviously) all Windows 10 upgrades & CUs deployed on a regular basis. RE partition is 980MB and as far as I know always been that way. The only (notable?) deviation from that is that my RE is not exactly operational, I think - or at least cannot be invoked using F11 via boot menu. This is the result of me moving cloning / expanding partitions as I kept upgrading OS SSDs over the years (128 GB -> 256 GB -> 512 GB -> 1 TB).
That’s now created it, no Winre.wim R:\Recovery\WindowsRE. Also though I have a old MS media USB cant find it on that either. KB5034441 Now comes up as install but fails.
Would copy from another W10 laptop or Desk work? The desk has been updated and the other laptop I know has a recovery partition on it but as yet not updated just stopped updates on it. Is so would MiniTool do I from a USB stick?
Iv given up and creating a Media creation to reinstall W10. Been much quicker in the first place and haven't done it on this old laptop so may well be worth doing anyway. Thanks for help.

I just downloaded and used the mini-tool partition manager - just to play around as I have always wanted to try it out.
Works great!
The issue I have with that application is:
I checked do not send data usage info
I checked the do not show again on the advertising popup to purchase the pro version.
I reboot the first time (resize c drive - even though I didn't have to I wanted to try out the tool) (before I unchecked anything I mentioned above).
All good.
I resize the second time (to put things back the way they were) but before I did I unchecked the things I mentioned above.
All good. Reboot.
When logging into Windows after the seconds reboot I get a security certificate warning.
Something wants to install the security certificate that will allow it to bypass my dns blocker protection on my firewall (Pfsense/pfblockerng). WFT?
No to all that.
Uninstall mini-tool and delete traces from rot drive and registry.
Reboot=no more security certificate install prompt.
I won't trust it again.
I may be wrong about it but, it IS suspicious so no more.
