Thank you so much Microsoft as you have started the New Year off with bang with this update failure below on the first patch Tuesday of the year:

Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8024200B: 2024-01 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034441).

Tried multiple times to install this brick but no luck on my OMEN desktop and my wife's Envy laptop. So now what Microsoft?

    I'm getting the same error on the same KB# update. I have yet to see this much of an issue with a Windows Update. Usually a reboot fixes my issue but this time it seems like it's sticking around..

    Sorry to hear. You can try System Restore but my` pc would not roll back, citing issues with .net, another failure. Also I tried to reboot after initially trying install and I could not get past preparing stage. Had to emergency shut down. via power on button. It's a problem more than meets the initial fail. Thats why I did reset windows. Didn't help much

    Sorry if I not helping your issue.

    Those HRESULTs are a real mess. I still don't understand why there is not a understandable message.

    Anyway, I resolved by following this article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5028997-instructions-to-manually-resize-your-partition-to-install-the-winre-update-400faa27-9343-461c-ada9-24c8229763bf

    As fare as I understood from the articles, the problem is that the WinRE partition is too small to install the patch that prevents exploiting Bitlocker. The above procedure guides you to resize the recovery partition.

    Be aware that playing with disks and partitions must be done with **extreme** attention as it can lead to data loss.

    Figured I might as well jump in too and say I am experiencing the same issue. Would be nice for MS to fix this.

    I have same problem. Troubleshooter and reset of .net, even reset my PC / Windows. same problem... and after multiple failed tries and resets I realised this was a Microsoft problem, and the usual response being to blame the client. Very frustrating...
