download the show/hide tool from microsoft and hide the thing so you never see it again and it doesn't try to install again
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.

2024-06-24T16:46:19+00:00 Agreed. Absolutely unreasonable, and absolutely intolerable. As someone who has typically manually set up custom multi-boot partitions to run multiple OSes on one computer, I am still absolutely not going to resize any of my existing partitions, nor am I going to reinstall Windows on any of my PCs. Microsoft, you are earning scorn and contempt for behavior like this. Casually inflicting hours of restorative labor on each of millions of users, and no doubt causing some of the attempts to fail, instead of just changing your update methodology/approach/demands. Unbelievable arrogance.

The script for repartition and expand the bios setting is embedded in the W10 updated download version.
Our complaint is...
Since the solution script is available why not make it available as a w10 update? Reinstall is a very time consuming manual labor intensive process. Therefore, unreasonable for anyone supporting more than 1 W10 PC. Actually, Since the solution script is written it is unreasonable for all users.

2024-06-24T06:46:57+00:00 I had the same. I reinstalled windows 10 while addressing another issue and the problem went away without any requirement to adjust partition size etc. I doubt this is a recommended action, but it worked for me!

2024-06-23T13:13:03+00:00 Sorry that I have not read this entire thread. This update-error persists on my computer as of June, 2024, months after it began (January, 2024). Does anyone know of a way even to just delete the damned update?
Thank you.
