How can I generate a Windows 10 recovery USB for the same computer, just in case something goes wrong?

Hello All:


I'm trying to create a Windows 10 installation USB to use in case something goes wrong with the computer. I did it once before, but I have never had to use it. Since then, I formatted that USB, because I wanted to redo the installation USB after making sure my system was up to date.


Now, however, I can't find the right download to do this. The only options seem to be to generate an installation USB to use on a different computer, or to do a full windows update on this computer. All I want is a recovery flash drive to use on this computer, and I don't want to update my whole system right now. In fact, I don't know why I'm being asked to update my system. I've been checking for updates periodically and AFAIK I have installed every update I'm supposed to.


My current system status is as follows:
