I googled the actual KB and found this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/kb5034441-windows-recovery-environment-update-for-windows-10-version-21h2-and-22h2-january-9-2024-62c04204-aaa5-4fee-a02a-2fdea17075a8. It seems that it updates the Windows Recovery (WinRE) environment, and the tip about resizing the partition for that is valid. You can find the link to the instructions in the KB article I linked.

I did that and the installation passed.

    Yes exactly. And it's so frustrating that Microsoft first response, instead of fixing it, is to dispatch a shill to scapegoat our PC's.

    I know "Me Too" responses are not very helpful, but I've run the DSIM and SFC commands above, rebooted, and same error installing "2024-01 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034441)"

    This is why Hotmail, Skype, and other products go down-hill after MS acquires them.
