You are having a similar issue as me. One of my boot partitions (EFI stuff) is out of order causing lots of headaches. In your case I think the only way to solve it is to follow the guide and make sure you activate your new partion as Recovery. From the guide: create partition primary id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac this command tells windows that this is the new Recovery partition. gpt attributes =0x8000000000000001 this command removes the drive letter recquirement so it doesnt show up in Disk manager for no reason. The old Recovery partion you can delete override as per the guide. You will have that old Recovery space now sitting as unallocated. Your layout will be thus: Reserved (128MB) unallocated (529MB) EFI (100MB) OS (475GB) Recovery (1125MB) *after resizing it

Don't worry this is easily solvable. Just follow the instructions and the update will install. ... Just take your time and follow the instructions step by step. Copy paste is recommended to avoid typos. Oh sure... it's easily solvable on a singe computer. When you have ~6,000 domain-joined workstations that are exhibiting the same problem, it becomes a little less easily solvable. I understand your frustration with Microsoft. How about leveraging the weight those 6000 licenses brings with Microsoft instead of at individuals who are just trying to help each other. Share mitigation tips with other corporate users with many licenses. FWIW I vote for a working automated fix from MS too. I have personally seen MS take a lot of flak for sitting on security fixes for much too long. That's no excuse for shipping this poorly tested update though.

I Reached out with support, was given Troubleshooting File that Fixed my Issue.. I Clicked "Hide Updates" and Checked in the Security Update, Fixed it for me.. https://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f22d5fdb-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcab https://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f22d5fdb-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcabHopeHope It helps anyone else.. My Issue was on Windows 10..

Yeah, I did this too helps me to not think about it until MS fixes their problem

You are having a similar issue as me. One of my boot partitions (EFI stuff) is out of order causing lots of headaches.

In your case I think the only way to solve it is to follow the guide and make sure you activate your new partion as Recovery.

From the guide:

create partition primary id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac

this command tells windows that this is the new Recovery partition.

gpt attributes =0x8000000000000001

this command removes the drive letter recquirement so it doesnt show up in Disk manager for no reason.

The old Recovery partion you can delete override as per the guide. You will have that old Recovery space now sitting as unallocated.

Your layout will be thus:
1. Reserved (128MB) unallocated (529MB)
2. EFI (100MB)
3. OS (475GB)
4. Recovery (1125MB) *after resizing it
