    My partitions are not in the correct order for the manual fix to work right it turns out. Windows disk manager can only extend a volume if that unallocated space is to the right of the partition being extended. Since my Partition 3 is the EFI stuff, I cant do anything about it.

    This kb5034441 update is so obviously untested. Like you're going to resize the recovery partition to get it to work...ffs microsoft get you're house in order.

    I did this procedure but it resulted in an unformatted 250MB partition, and did not add to the Recovery partition size as desired. My partiton order is not standard I guess, my C drive is part 2 and EFI is part 3, and Recovery part 4.. so maybe thats why.

    I had a handful of updates and the only one that won't work is: 2024-01 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034441) keeps failing to update. There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80070643)
