You are providing code that is sure to fail.

This makes an attempt at SHRINKING the RECOVERY PARTITION.

create partition primary id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac

This tries to create a partition in space that is NOT THERE as the preceding command has FAILED and NO partition has been DELETED.

when will Microsoft fixes its own problem and releass a new psatch iam not interesred in resize my partitin

its Microsodft duty to do this not me

hi community

when Microsoift will fix this ongoing issue?

I read your different posts about resizing parts but still failing

so my unique question when Microsoft will issue new patch for this updae since that the only one getting the error message

I assume Microsoft can take bit responsability for their own failure

Anyone can advise?

thank you all

Why do you insist on resizing, and what does "did not work" mean? Did you understand what I wrote?

Disable Windows RE.

reagentc /disable

Delete the recovery partition.

Enable Windows RE next.

reagentc /enable

Install the update. This has to work.

I would concur with the above, as, in my attempts to resolve this problem for myself, I found that once the path to the WinRE image was removed, the state set itself to Disabled anyway.

To update on my previous post with what I've attempted:

I had a Recovery partition of 500Mb, it was to the "left" of the Windows partition on the same disk. I had tried deleting the partition in the hope it would move to the "right" of the Windows partition, but it didn't.

I was able to download some free software (EaseUS Partition Master) and it provided enough functionality in the free version to move the unallocated partition space to the right of the Windows partition.

I then tried the instructions that have been mentioned in this thread, however, for me, setting the path to the WinRE image didn't work, because I didn't have the image (or at least, so I believed).

I went through the process of downloading/extracting the Install.wim to get to the WinRe.wim image, and put that in the C:\Windows\System32\Recovery directory.

I then went through the above process again and, again, it didn't work. By "didn't work" I mean, the update would fail to install. I was able to set the path to the image, however, what I noticed was the WinRE.wim image file kinda disappeared. It was hard to tell/understand what had actually happened, e.g. had it moved it to my Recovery partition, or, did it leave it at C:\Windows\System32\Recovery but set it to hidden? I wasn't really able to tell, there storage space on the Recovery parition hadn't changed.

I assumed that, because the WinRE image was about 3Gb, that perhaps I needed a larger recovery partition. I, apprehensively, shrunk the main Windows partition and again deleted the Recovery partition so that in total I had 4Gb of unallocated space.

I then repeated the instructions again. The same outcome occurred. No errors/issues when setting the recovery image path, it stated it was "enabled", the file again magically disappeared without trace - but - the update would still not apply.

At this point, it feels like a waste of time trying anything else for me personally, so I've chosen to not both, and, invariably will probably upgrade to Windows 11 in due course and hope that the update kinda feks off. I will hold fire for a little while longer though, on the off chance some other resolution presents itself as I dont really want to have to reinstall all my software again for Windows 11.

Not sure anything in the above will help anyone, but, if nothing else, our experience (read: misery) is shared. You are not alone. :)
