2024-03-10T17:20:44+00:00 I ended up deleting the Recovery Partition and recreating a new one at 250MB, restarted my PC, and ran the Check for Updates again, and it said my PC was up to date, and did not install KB5034441 or the one after it that I know of!

2024-03-10T18:54:44+00:00 Don't think partition size is the problem, mine is 500MB+ and have same issue. IMO, there is something else happening. In any case, MS announced that Win10 reaches end of support Oct. 14, 2025, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-home-and-pro . After that keep your fingers crossed ;)....https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-home-and-pro

"...uninstall the older update installed in October 2023 and reinstall it again through this month's push of the KB5001716 update.
To uninstall the KB5001716 update, go into Settings > Apps, and under Apps & features, scroll down until you see the update, click on it, and then click on Uninstall..."
After that restart your PC and proceed with update. Works for me on my 2 PC. :)

You cannot judge free space by partition size. You can have less than 250 MB of free space on a 500 GB partition.
KB5028997 is not saying to shrink the Recovery Partition, but the Windows partition before it.
