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)

BootIt BM Partition Manager from Terabyte Unlimited will do this for you. I'm NOT saying you should do this just to fix this debacle from MS! I'm just pointing out a powerful and non-destructive partition manager in case you want to go down that road, or if you have need for one elsewhere. Just trying to be helpful.

Hi guys, I found all my Windows 10 and Windows 11 machines have error installing this Windows Update patch today. I found a way helps it get thru the installation after trying out all the suggested solutions on the web. I use a 3rd party disk partition software to increase the size of the recovery partition (after shrinking C: drive by 500MB) to at least 1GB in size. then run the Windows updates again for this Windows Update patch and it installed successfully. noted: one of my machines did not have a recovery partition because it is in root C:\ drive. I still have to create a blank 1 GB recovery partition to make this Windows Update patch run successfully. The 1GB recovery partition remained empty after this patch was installed successfully. Good luck! Papa Ang

You are correct, if you read what I did, it sounded like it was written by someone who works with code all day for other people who also work with code all day

My issue is that they are doing it several times a week! I need to find something out and I have to click through next/next/next....I know when that happens the browser has also opened my home page but maybe there is something interesting going on that might be handy, I just wish they would save the darn things for Sunday or some like that. Worse though is that they are so fixated on Win 11 that 10 is getting no new features, my Gen 6 PC can't upgrade and they keep making me aware that I'll have to throw it away next year/or else.....I want to know if the TPM change in the OS has actually saved even one PC from an infection. Their constant BS with killing working programs and OS's to try and make us spend money (this month it was Clip Champ) should be illegal
