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.

    Thanks for the remainder, but no, I don't use my PC when installing software, whether apps or Windows updates.

    Do you use your computer while it's installing updates? If yes, try again with antivirus deactivated, but then without using the computer. I know, Microsoft says you can use it, but it's best to let it install updates without using.

    For the KB5034122, Deactivate your antivirusprogram. If you have a third part-antivirusprogram, then deactivate this. When it's deactivated, you also has to deactivate Windows Defender. When this is done, try again.

    After restart, check to see, if the third part antivirusprogram is running again, and Windows Defender is deactivated, as it has to be, when having a third part antivirusprogram...
