I saw that I have 520MB of Healthy Recovery Partition in which I failed to shrink and the error was "you may not shrink OEM, ESPY or recovery partitions, or, offline volumes. The volume you have selected may not be shrunk. Please select another volume and try again.".) (Also when I shrink from C: and then I do not see new partition which suppose to be seen).

So kindly help.

    FYI -

    Here are the exact steps I used on many Windows 10 Pro x64 systems to correct this KB5034441 error.

    Open CMD as Administrator:

    Press Windows Key

    Type in "CMD" (without the quotes)

    Click on 'Run as administrator'

    C:>reagentc /info

    Hi Ramesh, after running the command "shrink desired=250 minimum=250", I cannot see any WinRe partition to carry on to the next step:

    To select the WinRE partition, run sel part<WinRE partition index>

    I see only this:

    The shrink command show this in diskpartition (it creates 252mb unallocated space which I can't seem to do anything with now):

    Where is the WinRE index mentioned, and how can I resolve this please?

    Microsoft has updated the patch. I checked my partitions, there was no change to the partition sizes that I reported in my Jan 10 reply. So, I am guessing that the problem was not really the partition size. Deciding, after having had several failures to fix the problem by changing the partition size per the MS "solution," to instead wait for MS to fix their freaking bug seems to have been the best choice for me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
