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 partitions are not in the correct order for the manual fix to work right it turns out. Windows disk manager can only extend a volume if that unallocated space is to the right of the partition being extended. Since my Partition 3 is the EFI stuff, I cant do anything about it.

Why is this update, which is to fix a vulnerability in Bitlocker, being supplied to users running Windows 10 Home Edition which cannot have Bitlocker installed? All Microsoft have done is cause worry to millions of users.

As a novice user I have attempted the recommended fix - KB5028997 - to manually resize the WinRE partition, but the System partition listed is only 100MB so how can that be shrunk by 250MB please? Should the instructions actually refer to the Windows partition listed as Primary? All advice would be appreciated

Yes you shrink the OS partition according to the instructions, Make sure you are manipulating the correct disk and partitions. Dont change the System or EFI partitions.
