KB5034441 update problem, error (0x80070643).

New Preview came out on 23rd Jan 2024 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/january-23-2024-kb5034203-os-build-19045-3996-preview-d9540687-af96-46ba-9192-88fe44833561) which shows as one of its fixes:

This update addresses a known issue that affects BitLocker data-only encryption. A mobile device management (MDM) service, such as Microsoft Intune, might not get the right data. This occurs when you use the FixedDrivesEncryptionType or SystemDrivesEncryptionType policy settings in the BitLocker configuration service provider (CSP) node.

Can anyone confirm if this is actually the problem we are all going through?

We have installed it on an affected machine to test, where the update took close to 30 minutes, and when the machine became available, went into Windows Update and the Retry button was still showing for the old problemed kb5034441. Would have imagined that this would have disappeared?

Has anyone else tried this? Is anyone else experiencing the same behaviour?

Changing my partitions, because Micro$oft can't get an update sorted within a reasonable size restriction? Are you serious?! It seems resizing the partition does not solve the problem either.

Mirco$oft:

Get.

It.

Fixed.

Was speaking in general not specially you. Just all the YT fixes which many of us can do. When it comes to partitions most of us (90%) users are not even going to attempt this procedure. Just people that user their PC for search, downloads and everyday type of things. Not messing with the programs/files that could cause more problems with a mistake. If MS can make this type of mistake then many PC users will make even more. What you have pointed out will work for 10% of users. The rest of us can't comprehend all of that or putting in 20 lines of instructions. We want MS to fix this problem they put on our PC's . 10+ days later there are no automatic updates to rid PC of this error. Many are stopping updates totally because of it and miss the 3-4 updates that come each day for Defender Antivirus.

You have done well for PC users that are technically sound working into Windows programs and files. The rest of us will wait to see if MS will fix.

DO NOT CALL ME A "HOT SHOT".

I told you of an omission in the Microsoft instructions. The act of formatting the newly created recovery partition - per Microsoft's instructions - changes the partition type from recovery to primary. After the format command, you need to do an additional command, "set id=27", to restore the partition type to recovery.

I documented this in the post.

This is why some people using the Microsoft instruction are still having problems. If you don't want to use Microsoft's work-around, fine, then don't. But do not insult people who are trying to share what they have found to work.
