OS Build # 19045.3930. Update Troubleshoot tool repair but it does not help. MS Windows Update Catalog does not have the update. Other updates all went through without any trouble.

You cannot extend the Recovery partition if it is on the very left with MiniTool!

Same thing here, MiniTool can't extend Recovery partition if it is on the very left.

Having the same issue with different Windows 10 machines. We do not use bit locker. Will wait for MS to get it together and release a new update that will work.

TO: RogerCimon & JMBissll313 Since MiniTool does not work when the WINRE partition is first on the disk-drive, download an older (but free) version of Macrium Reflect from www.MajorGeeks.com Admit that your current disk-drive is old, and probably out-of-warranty, and buy a new SSD, and connect it. As you start-up Macrium Reflect, you should choose to resize each of the partitions that you want to copy, e.g., increase the size of the WINRE partition, and decrease the size of the "C:" partition, and then launch the copy operation. As you configure it, you may first need to configure to "shrink" the C:, and then configure to "expand" the WINRE partition. This avoids M.R. complaining that there is not room for the C: partition, due to the increased size of the WINRE partition. When the copy completes, power-off the computer. Disconnect and physically remote the current disk-drive. Restart into BIOS SETUP mode, and configure it to boot from the SSD. Restart Windows, and rerun Windows Update. Keep your current disk-drive as an "archive" of your system, as it was in early January 2024. I am very reluctant to use software like Partition Magic to "shrink-in-place" the "C:" partition before "sliding" it over by a few GB to create free-space before it. If that "slide" gets interrupted, you might have really messed-up the partitioni. I would rather deploy a brand-new disk-drive, to avoid mangling the current disk-drive.

@IbrahimKonuk --- This is a brand new update. Yes, new for the January 2024 Windows Update. Is this a known issue? Yes, judging by the number of posts to this discussion thread, and by various web-sites that are reporting the issue -- just do a Google/Bing search for KB5034441 to find those reports. Is there a resolution specific to this update? Yes. You, and several others need to read through all the posts within this discussion thread, to find useful information.
