Recovery disk for MacBook Pro ( 2015) running Monterey

machine is not working properly. Can’t do recovery at start up - doesn’t work - what ever commands I use.

You cannot download a "recovery disk", per se. What you can do is download the macOS installer and then build an installer on a USB drive. However, you will need a properly working Mac to do that, one capable of running the version of OS you wish to build. For instructions, see:


Create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support


Since your system has been running Monterey, that's the version I'd recommend downloading.
