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?

    Where is the fix for this Microsoft? Seriously? The steps here DO NOT WORK. What a trainwreck you have become.

    As per "brummel(2)", you can definitely try to rollback to a restore point prior to doing the KB5034441 update, and any others done along with it and then delay-- 7-day max I think --these updates forcibly applying themselves. Who knows, perhaps if the updates present themselves again KB5034441 will not be on the list (it would mean Microsoft has received enough complaints about this particular update and they are doing something about it...).

    Otherwise, trying a system restore from a bootable USB with the latest release that you can get through the Creation Tool is the next step I'd try.

    As a final step I'd be doing a restore from a backup of the system that is as close as possible to the date the update was applied. I take weekly backups of my system. So, in my case I'd "loose" whatever I'd done on the Sunday and the Monday--which wouldn't be anything much, if anything.

    That's my advice for all that it is worth to anyone.

    I have a bigger problem, after the update failed to install I tried restarting my laptop, not the system won't reboot. Now what do I do? Laptop won't enter recovery mode on it's own. The only way to enter recovery is from Media Creation Tool USB.

    Any suggestions for getting my system up and running again? Should I try using System Restore and restore to a system point on Jan 7th, prior to the updates?

    Same problem. It is completely inexcusable for MSFT to issue a patch that requires partition adjustment or any other highly technical steps - especially given this is supposed to patch a serious security vulnerability. So, I strongly agree with DonT5 - Thanks a lot MSFT and gee, can't you do better with your 2 TRILLION DOLLAR market cap?
