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.
Get same update error. Have established that HDD has a healthy Rcovery partition of 517MB.
Do not think that I should be expected to go through a load of complex and possibly risky procedures to overcome Microsofts problem with this update.
Me customer, you supplier. Get it sorted!
Usually MS instuctions are useless..
First is say - select your OS partition.. coll just how should I identify it for such list ?
DISKPART> list part
Partition ### Type Size Offset
Partition 1 Primary 50 MB 1024 KB
Partition 2 Primary 232 GB 51 MB
Partition 3 Primary 5129 MB 232 GB
Partition 4 Recovery 504 MB 237 GB
and iven If i know this is partition 2 (the one where the OS is installed). why should I shrink it ? where is any explanation ?
The word 'shink' make me worry that I accidentaly destroy my partition with all its data.
Why you MS cant simply issue the tool which does all such operations hiddenly from user without requirements to understand all this fancy things ?
If I wish to play with all that cmd stuff I would probably install Linux then. Why my MacOS doesnt ask such s*it ever?
I don't think, it's needed or critical / important enough... I will just let it sit there, until Microsoft decides to withdraw their [BEEEP] and sends a new, better update. But why Microsoft don't twithdraw it, I don't know......
I can always check for new updates by clicking on the "Retry"-button and the other updates that may come, will install
I also had an update on another computer with only Windows Defender, where the KB5034122 wouldn't install before deactivating Defender.
A computer, on my working place, also with only Windows Defender deactivated, ate them all with pleasure!!!!!!!
ya it shouldnt come down to other users fixing this **** but microsoft
TY this worked for me.
