Is there a workaround for KB5034441 install failure that doesn't require partition modification?

I've had this issue for months. I inadvertently stumbled across a simple solution while trying to fix iCloud calendars and contacts not syncing with Outlook issue that I had ( for info 32-bit Outlook wont sync, 64-bit did sync): reinstall windows keeping apps and settings from the Microsoft website. I had to do this as there was no refresh option for some reason. Didn't take long, everything looked the same after I did it and the KB 5034441 failure to install issue vanished. This was a fix for me - hopefully it might work for others too. I hope I have recalled this correctly, but there is scope that I'm not totally correct in my recollection from yesterday.

This registry key fix worked for us. I was absolutely not going to edit partitions.

Same here. Increased the WinRE size to 1024MB and it worked. Spent hours on this. Thanks for the recommendation.

Apologies as I have not read all 11 pages of the thread, I'm only here to add and not investigate so wasn't going to punish myself.

We were not going to resize RE partitions of our server estate so when this update and issue came out I logged a call with MS Support, this is the fix they provided and (to date) it has worked on all affected servers:

As scoped issue, we got to know that you are getting WinRE partition on deployed devices to address security vulnerabilities.

but this update is particularly meant to the server which have WinRE partition. 

a.   If the System just don’t have Recovery partition but WinRE is still enabled on OS, it should not prevent the device from receiving the updates for WinRE.

i.          Instead, the WinRE servicing should succeed without any additional steps since we have more space to use on OS

b.  If the System is having a Recovery partition but WinRE is disabled, you need to try run “reagentc /enable” to enable the WinRE onto the Recovery partition.

i.          If the enable failed as Recovery partition is not big enough, you will need to extent the Recovery partition.

c.   If the System didn’t have a Recovery partition and WinRE is disabled (as cannot be install onto OS partition due to BitLocker), you need to manually create a Recovery partition first.

Else :

1.   Ignore installation errors on devices that do not have WINRE partitions.

2.   or fallow the below AP to bypass the updates:

Action Plan:

1. Registry key workaround that can be fallowed when installing KB5034439, KB 5034440 and KB5034441 on systems where WINRE has been disabled, or on devices with no WINRE:
   reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /f /v WinREVersion /t REG_SZ /d "10.0.20348.2201".

So it's been like 4 months and this update STILL fails...

I just reimaged a new desktop with Windows 10 Pro and ran all updates. This update is the only one that fails... When will Microsoft get ANYONE to actually fix issues?

This desktop does NOT have TPM at all, but it's also not on Windows 11 so this shouldn't be an issue.
