Microsoft has released a fix. It is a Powershell script that supposedly will resolve the problem. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5034957-updating-the-winre-partition-on-deployed-devices-to-address-security-vulnerabilities-in-cve-2024-20666-0190331b-1ca3-42d8-8a55-7fc406910c10 But it requires downloading a supplemental file from the Windows Update Catalog. You need to match that file to the specific version of Windows 10 that you have. Whether this script will work is unknown. I have only seen a couple of people who tried it. One said it worked, the other said it did not work. Good luck, JohnD

Resizing the Recovery partition brokes Win RE. You can't reactivate Win RE due to the missing Win RE image. More, I enconters this issue on a PC with a 1GB Win RE partition. The fix is definitively buggy and MUST be fixed.

Looks like it is solved or won't appear anymore. Thank you for your advice, JohnD! Best regards, rMasterYoda P.s My Win version is 22H2 and I have istalled: 2024-01 Dynamic Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034232) From here: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=Safe%20OS

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 when i discovered this info yesterday, it was a severe /headdesk /facepalm: they've also got eyes on a possible Windows 12! however, what they're doing right now is going to make a LOT of lads n ladies very very angry. hopefully, so much anger that MS ends up losing revenue from us older Windows users. that info was shared with members of me family who all happened to have pc's n laptops. me mum has an old windows 7 throwaway that won't get any better for her because neither of us, her n i, can afford to upgrade to 11, or anything higher for that matter. MS must've known the consequences for losing revenue from us, however, i'm guessing that NOBODY over there at MS gives a $hyte, because, well, we've ALREADY paid em enough to retire about a million times over...so they feel quite comfy with it, r willing to cut most customers out, n they're too busy smiling about THEIR plan.
