yet another user with this issue. Is MS completely silent on how to fix this still?
Is there a workaround for KB5034441 install failure that doesn't require partition modification?

We know about the failure of KB5034441, and the recent recommendations to modify a partition as a workaround. As an old school practitioner (since 3.1 came on floppies), and having crashed many a hard disk, modifying a partition seems rather extreme for an update workaround, unsafe, and IMHO highly NOT recommended. My questions are:
Is there another workaround or fix to KB5034441 not installing?
How important is this update seeing how update Tuesday is in just a few days?

UPDATE: Tuesday 2/27/2024
The issue was resolved by enabling the TPM is BIOS to allow the operating system to access the TPM. Nothing was done to modify partitions from the default install size. Currently I have a 50MB NTFS System partition, a 465GB Primary partition, and a 546MB Recovery partition.
Looking in the Update history, KB5034441 installed correctly. Kudos to 1proggy, below, for coming up with the answer for my system.

2024-04-10T16:58:51+00:00 So Tiny Tim, what do you want for Christmas?
I want KB5034441 to install!
Oh Tim, you’re such a rascal.

2024-04-06T15:36:47+00:00 Microsoft doesn't have the best track record.. it is truly disheartening to see someone with such blind faith for a mega cooperation who has constantly been bricking Operating systems with updates. Perhaps if they had our interests in mind when breaking our computers with faulty updates.
