I keep trying install this update yet it keeps failing. I already ran troubleshooter said it resolved the issue but the error persists. I also disabled my antivirus and tried again still did not work And I keep getting error (0x80070643) Is this a known issue? All the other updates installed fine without issue.

    The best thing to do is wait for MS to resolve the issue with the update, rather than resizing recovery drives and possibly having to decrypt Bitlocker.

    MS have said (in the link below) that it is working on a solution, and that it is safe to just leave that update uninstalled for now,

    From what I found "this update addresses a security vulnerability that could allow attackers to bypass BitLocker encryption by using Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). For more information, see CVE-2024-20666."

    Does that mean that this security update only apply to computers with Bitlocker encryption enabled on the drive? Bitlocker is not enabled by default and has to be specifically enabled so I'm guessing this security patch is of no value to a large majority of people running windows?

    I tried all the work arounds. I finally downloaded the free version of Mini Tool Partition Wizard and it worked. It only took about 20 minutes. After installing Mini Tool open it and find the biggest partition on the drive that you need to change. Make that partition smaller by 500MB or 1 GB. Apply the change and restart your computer. When computer starts back up open Mini Tool and on that drive, you will now see a partition NOT ALLOCATED. Take the Recovery partition and make it larger by the amount that you took away from the other partition. Apply the change. Restart computer. Now install the update and it will install.

    This works fine with me:

    But Microsoft technical support must solve this problem because most people doing work or browsing cannot do it
