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.

    I resized my Windows RE partition, but still no joy.
    "* Volume 8 Windows RE NTFS Partition 500 MB Healthy Hidden"

    Guess wait for MS to fix then.

    Also have this issue. Advising the average PC user to change the partition sizes in command line is a recipe for disaster. Waiting for MS to release a tool/fix.
