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 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

    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

    Believe it or not, this issue is not only occurring on Windows 10/11 computers, but on Server 2022, as well! It's a different KB number, KB5034439, for the server update, but it's doing the same thing with the Windows Recovery partition. This is happening not only on in-house servers, but VM's hosted in Azure as well.

    I sure as heck don't want to go around having to muck with partition sizes on my active production servers. That is definitely NOT a good solution.

    How full the UEFI System partition is can be misleading. Disk Management always shows it as 100% free, but it isn't.

    You can run the command below in an Admin command prompt. The bytes free number will let you know the actual situation. When the command prompt window closes, the Y: drive letter goes away.

    These commands place a drive letter, y: in this case so you can get a directory listing. Make sure and add spaces in the commands.

    C:\Windows\System32>mountvol y: /S

    C:\Windows\System32>y:

    Y:>dir

    Volume in drive Y has no label.

    Volume Serial Number is A463-307C

    Directory of Y:\

    03/04/2023 05:25 PM <DIR> EFI

               0 File(s)              0 bytes 
    
               1 Dir(s)      **71,465,984 bytes free**
