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.

    Jeg har haft denne fejl i lang tid nu, den bliver ved med at sige "prøv igen", efter jeg har klikket på den. Nogen der ved hvordan man fikser det?

    There were problems installing updates, but we will try again later. If you continue to see this message and you want to search for information on the Internet

    I haven't tried the resizing yet, mainly cause I doubt that is why. Here is my disks and partitions. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j80BpjWGUWqULoed2s2m0uRS2m4vRlEf/view?usp=sharing

    I fixed the error by enlarging WinRE partition by 250MB (Win10 22H2 - Disk partition type GPT) following below steps:

    1. Search on start "Create and format hard disk partitions" and shrink 250MB from the partition next to partition Healthy (Recovery...)

    Image

    1. Open cmd (Admin) and run reagentc /info . If WinRE is enabled, run reagentc /disable, else continue.
    2. Run diskpart followed by sel Disk 0 (in my case, OS is located in Disk 0 as above image)
    3. Run list part to search for WinRE partition
    4. Run sel Partition n (n is the index of WinRE - Type Recovery)
    5. Run delete partition override
    6. Run create partition primary id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac followed by gpt attributes =0x8000000000000001

    *** If your partition type is MBR, just run only create partition primary id=27

    1. Run format quick fs=ntfs label=”Windows RE tools”. Then run list part to check whether enlarged WinRE is created or not.
    2. Run exit to exit from diskpart. Then run reagentc /enable

    Now the WinRE partition is enlarged, just run Window Updates again.

    The System Reserved partition is only 50 MBs. It needs to be at least 100 MBs but also needs around 60MBs free. Microsoft started using the small System Reserved partition in certain situations during an installation, but it might be you have a Legacy install which looks a little strange in a Windows 11 forum.

    I haven't looked at the instructions you are being given to repair the problem, but adding an additional 10 MBs to that partition will not fix this situation. You need to use a third party partition manager to make those changes.

    Perhaps converting the system to UEFI might help, which you need to do anyway. That would add a 100 MB System UEFI partition.
