Microsoft has released a frustrating update of KB5034441 which can not be installed by a common user in any means. it needs to expand the virtual memory in a very technical and the professional way. can anybody help how to install it in any easy way ? or how to permanently by pass this frustrating update? i am using windows 10 pro ver 22h2 infact the worst one of the entire win 10 history because :
ms security is down since last 8 months & there chat helpline and all over the forum has failed to resolve it. microsoft told me that they are not even aware of this. windows security was going auto down, any how i ve purchased a extremely expensive software to fix that.. now ms launched another prb which i ve been asking for a fix. they ve charged me for win 10 pro and after couple of years failed their security in the windows..anyhow.. about KB5034441 any fix ?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Well for me the update is still blocking all other updates to include Windows 11 upgrade. As most of you know Microsoft updates in the US are usually on Tuesday, but none have changed me through since this messed up update from Microsoft and I refuse to do there work for them. They need to address this problem that they and they alone created. It’s not like Microsoft does not have the resources and money to address this; it should be High Priority, but if it was it would of been fixed by now!
I tried the fix and ended wiping the entire partition instead of expanding it...so frustrated right now.
Download EaseUS (in case if you cannot extend the ‘recovery partition’ drive by using Diskpart utility. You wont be able to extend ‘recovery partition’ by using diskpart as it will reply you ‘ .. cannot extend the OEM Partition’.
Step 1 :
extend the ‘recovery partition’ drive (500mb-1000mb suggested for size) using EaseUS
Step 2 :
Start ‘Background Intelligence Transfer Services’ in services.msc
run windows update.
Step 3 : verify your KB download.
Step 4 : done!
Notes : this KB updates need your recovery partition size at least 700mb.
consider this update as Security Update which mitigate the risk of Bitlocker Exploiting vulnerabilities.

Agreed...there is no way 98% of Windows users will have the technical knowledge or courage to try and fix this by shrinking and expanding partitions to allow the patch to run. Never gonna happen. They need to either shrink this patch to fit in a smaller partition or include a utility in the patch that expands the WRE automatically. Not sure that will work either, because in many cases, corporate environments have partitions in a different order - WinRE is not the next partition so shrinking/expanding won't even work in those cases - the partitions would have to be reordered as well. Not sure they can do that.
It would be nice for Microsoft to acknowledge the problem but their support services have been cut to the bone...not sure they have any support staff left to talk to - there isn't in our corporate account anymore.
MS seems to be in a bit of trouble...
Remember when MS was pestering people to switch to UEFI? The people that did now have an EFI partition between the system and recovery partitions. Do you trust MS to make an automatic utility to move the EFI partition? I don't!
Whatever they do, it's going to have to work with the smaller partition.
