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.

2024-06-24T06:46:57+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!

2024-06-23T09:16:28+00:00 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.

2024-06-03T20:59:02+00:00 This error has been showing up on my PC for months.
TPM access is enabled on this device.
I am not about to start doing crazy things to my system like resizing partitions.
Can Microsoft please fix this?
Or is this some lame brained ploy to get people to upgrade to Windows 11?Because Windows 11 is a downgrade if you ask me. Less options and less useful!
