Or you can just hide the update.
An easy way is to use WUmgr (free). I've posted a screenshot on using that (self-evident really) a couple of times.
As to how hard it would be to increase the Recovery partition size so you have a min free space of around 250MB - that depends on what partitions you have. It is required to be after C: from what I've read.
If it is, e.g. shrink C: a little and expand the Recovery partition. Easy with e.g. Minitool Partition wizard.
Others will no doubt post a string of Diskpart commands for you.
not sure what you mean by disc management and i will not attempt this increase by myself besides from what i read home version does not use bit locker i have mess this up so many times trying to do what people say is easy not if you have no idea what you are doing . this is what a tech told me when i mentioned i hid the failed driver that kept failing now is wht he said true and was it fixed?.

This then is your issue. The update is over two months old, and they need to be installed in order.
Wushowhide is a dangerous tool because of the need to remember to come back and install the update before anything else gets installed. If updates get installed out of order unknown things could go wrong.
Although there is a requirement for a tool like this in larger enterprise environments with a dedicated system administrator whose job it is to make sure windows updates work, it is better to make sure you get all the updates on time especially security updates.
I recommend pausing updates for 7 days. This is a permanent selection. This is good because 1. Most people don’t have the resources to beta testing Windows updates. 2. If there is an issue with an update, it gets fixed withing a day or two.
The Fix
Get rid of wushowhide
Turn on “Pause Updates”
Back out of all updates through the beginning of January then reinstall them automatically.

It usually means the device is in pending state.
If the device in question with the clock is not being used currently, it could be waiting for a driver update or there was a failed driver update.
If the latter is the case, I suggest running Windows Update
I’m not sure if this involves an HP printer or scanner. However, HP printer/scanner drivers have perhaps questionable hooks into the operating system. It’s not a bad thing by itself but if Microsoft updates the operating system for a security fix, then their unrelated drivers usually do not work for a few days. This is typically a symptom of poorly developed software because the developer chose to not work within the provided boundaries.

when i go to devices and printers next to every item there there is a black what looks like a clock it eventually goes away and i ran trouble shooter on each item and show no problem so why do they show up the phot0 i am showing is not mine i is an example of what i mean.Every time i try to take a snip it of it i can not go fast enough before those little clock things go off
And thank you for your reply.
I never mentioned Disk Management.not sure what you mean by disc management
Feel free to look up terms with which you're unfamiliar using e.g. Google.
Correct, Bitlocker is not available with Home.besides from what i read home version does not use bit locker
I pointed out you can hide the update and proceed on your way without any more anti-stress pills.
Good luck.
