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.

    In my case, I have install.esd instead of install.wim, but otherwise this solution works for me as well.

    thanks

    Had to release my SAMSUNG SSD's "overprovisioning-partition"! (although there was enough space left)

    everything went smooth afterwards.

    thank you

    Like so many others here, I am getting the same error when I try to run the newly released update for Win10 (the first Windows update in January 2024, that is). It seemed to download correctly, but every time I run it, it fails and asks me to "Retry" the installation (which never works).

    I run Win11 on my Surface Book, and while this newest update failed my first attempt to update it as well, clicking the "retry" button worked and the update is installed on that computer now (but it did have problems at first)

    I have not encountered an update problem for quite some time now (for which I am thankful :)), but it would be nice to have a work-around or another update to fix this newest update release so that it can finally be installed.

    So, Microsoft, thank you for your help with that :)
