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 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

    I was seeing the problem on 3 PCs that have been migrated to SSDs with Samsung Magician, so I wonder if this problem may be a side-effect of the re-partitioning that happens during the migration process.

    exactly! You have to release your overprovisioning-partition with Samsung Magician. Then re-partitioning using command shell or any partition-manager will work
