Couldn't MS do this to its users automatically without having to do it manually for non-technical users? :/

It's not a fix, they just pulled the update, presumably until they fix it. It's gone from my maim update screen on Windows 10, though is still listed as having failed under history, with a link to the article talking about the update and issue.

Why send updates when they don't work? Please delete this update.

Hi there, If you don't intend to extend the Recovery partition, for now, you may hide the update using the WUShowHide.diagcab tool from Microsoft. https://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f22d5fdb-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcab

Dear Microsoft, shouldn't there be a button to cancel the windows update ((KB5034441) when it failed to give a proper update? Or probably cancel the entire update when error is encountered rather attempting to do a failed update? What are you doing about this error that keeps popping up when I try to do other windows update?

I can see it being removed IF you haven't downloaded the update. But this isn't the case for the majority of people. Because most people have in fact dowonloaded it, including me. The very creation of this thread was to report an INSTALLATION error which subsequently means, that the people complaining have downloaded it. So, this isn't a fix. But it could be if you do a Windows 10 restore. Maybe, i think. I'm not gonna try it, because i'm too annoyed about this whole installation error at this point. Microsoft who created this mess, let them solve it. I do give them credit thought, this is the first time in years that i receive an error update.
