    Hi all,

    A fix is in the works.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-10-21H2#3231msgdesc  

    Devices attempting to install the January 2024 Windows Recovery Environment update ( KB5034441) might display an error related to the size of the Recovery Environment's partition. The Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) is used to repair or recover from issues affecting Windows.

    Resulting from this error, the following message might be displayed.

    "0x80070643 - ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE"

    Workaround: It might be necessary to increase the size of the WinRE partition in order to avoid this issue and complete the installation. Note that 250 megabytes of free space is required in the recovery partition. Guidance to change the WinRE partition size can be found in KB5028997: Instructions to manually resize your partition to install the WinRE update.

    Next steps: We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.

    Affected platforms:

    Client: Windows 11, version 21H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10, version 21H2

    Server: Windows Server 2022

    I am in a middle of a campaign so I do NOT have time to mess with partitions, I've installed clean on 500 gb SSD. I do NOT risk all my work and I do NOT have time to backup entire machine while trying to to my job which is not messing all my PC because Microsoft wants it. I will jus leave it as it is. Maybe discontinuing all your updates for max period allowed will help. Thanks for nothing

    First of all this seems very technical for a typical computer user, the instructions are for windows 11 + people have mentioned this before that it sometimes does not always work.

    Microsoft just needs to release some kind of emergency fix
