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.

    HI

    I did not have any problems with the recovery partition or WinRE .

    what are the problems you are talking about ?

    When I solved the problem, no problems occurred in the recovery partition or in WinRE

    The problem/solution is listed here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5028997-instructions-to-manually-resize-your-partition-to-install-the-winre-update-400faa27-9343-461c-ada9-24c8229763bf

    Yes, that is a problem for me also. the problem occurs mainly when the mouse has been inactive for a while.

    Changing usb ports for the dongle cures it for a while.

    Disable Automatic USB Suspend for the HID device was suggested to cure this, but did not help.

    Hope Windows come out with a fix soon.
