The latest update downloads and then fails to install.

  • 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.

This is a brand new update. Is this a known issue? Is there a resolution specific to this update? (Please do not copy and paste standard procedure)

    My WDC SSD is a PCIe NVMe 4.0 drive that is almost brand new. I have used Reflect for years but don't see an option to resize a partition during a restore.

    I'm just going to wait until MS fixes the update.

    Oh boy did you hit that nail on the head! XP came out and worked great, Vista didn't works at all until they released the first service pack a year later. Then 7 was released, what a wonderful breath of fresh air! It didn't just work, it was great!
    Haha, to get back in the groove they released 8, surely as non-functional as Vista, worse the stupid full screen start menu., 8.1 was no big relief from 8, I suppose it worked but I never used it.

    Oh, almost forgot.....
    To Force 8 on us they broke win 7's update function. Suddenly you couldn't do a clean 7 install and have it update!

    "What do you want that for? Install 8!"

    Then 10 was released, Better than 7, and it worked great!

    Can't let us get used to something that we like, watch out, here's 11.....they had to hide most system functions and f+*k with the start menu again. WTFF !
    I suspect that everytime there's a new windows department manager they want to lay their "wonderful change" on the world, so when the compliments come in they can say "That was my idea" I think they should have to face a committee of real users before changing the UI

    I found this today:

    https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-shares-script-to-update-windows-10-winre-with-bitlocker-fixes/amp/

    Not quite a reworking of the fix and I honestly don't believe Microsoft can/will fix the update. By design, the recovery partition was intended to fluctuate in size.

    But as someone else posted before, earlier versions of Windows 10 park the recovery partition at the "top" of the drive while later versions park it at the "end" which makes resizing easier (if still largely manual).

    Unfortunately, I don't know if the above "solution" will address these older systems (like the ones I have). I'm reluctant to mess with the current partition order as something is likely to go wrong and the computers won't boot anymore.

    I also don't know if this would address situations where there are *multiple* recovery partitions, as I have in one case.

    Caveat emptor...

    Thanks Eugene Tang.

    Resizing my partition to install the WinRE update, fix the issue. Successfully installed KB5034441.
