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.

I'm not MS and I'm frankly peeved with them aye. They've forgotten so many lessons through arrogance it's just not funny. And the hide to say "it'll fix your problems" however when I ACCIDENTALLY told my Surface Book to go to Win11 (didn't read properly was in a rush at the time) it completely broke the installed system, folders, files, etc back to a revert out of box state. LUCKILY I had set an image using AOMEI and just took a few hours to re image back and update the changes made since imaging. So given the Win11 downgrade BROKE my device made from the same arrogant company, I wouldn't trust their bs claim for a moment that it "fixes" anything beyond fixing a **** MS device when it's yeeted across the room in frustration. I'm making a path now to look at merging over to Ubuntu as there is just too much going wrong with Microsoft and they REFUSE to listen.

An in place upgrade??? That's the dumbest answer I have ever seen. That is NOT an acceptable solution. Why don't you guys at MS cut the update into 2 or 3 parts or something? Dorking up all my programs is not a solution. What about laptops that just have a small 256 GB drive? What do they do, format C:?

If the issue still persists, please try performing an In-place Upgrade. It will definitely help in resolving update errors. Performing this can repair broken operating system files while your personal files, settings and installed applications will not be removed. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for... You HAVE to be kidding right?!!!!! DOWNGRADING to an even worse OS is NOT the answer and never will be! If they want to pull this nonsense then I'll be UPGRADING to Linux sooner rather than later and pulling my hosting with MS and refusing to touch their crappy hardware ever again! Hell even their help app is broken and refuses to load in a browser! This is THE WORST suggestion I've seen on here short from reformat /c as a fix! How the hell you got "expert" as a title with dribble like this is beyond me!

I have the exact same problem on 2 of my home computers with Windows 10. The problem is that my recovery partitions are before the C drive in Disk Management. Have no idea why that is. So I can't resize it gracefully. Why do I have to do all this **** just for the Bitlocker update? Microsoft, you suk.
