Fatal error: Cannot redeclare retrieve_password() (previously declared in E:\Inetpub\vhosts\winningbizzness.com\httpdocs\wp-login.php:311) in E:\Inetpub\vhosts\winningbizzness.com\httpdocs\wp-includes\user.php on line 2671

I had the same issue here and it was caused by a WordPress update failure where some files were missing or corrupted.

I quickly resolved just reinstalling WordPress. In my case I used FTP, as in this guide: https://kinsta.com/blog/reinstall-wordpress/

Hope it helps anyone reading this answer!
