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.

    For the shrink command had you selected the recovery partition? as you are meant to shrink the primary partition, then delete and re create the recovery partition. Thus increasing it's size allowing you to install this update.

    Thank you to Volume Z for the info! This worked for me once I had selected the correct partitions.

    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.
