    I have used Minitool partition wizard..(No promotion) I had 500mb reserved storage then 236gb c drive and another 500mb as recovery partition (the partition was in the same sequence mentioned). In recovery partition through windows disk management i found the fully free but when i went to see through minitool partition wizard i found only 88mb was free. Theni resized drive c and reduced it to 235gb and added that 1gb to the recovery partition. Then i restarted and successfully installed the update. I went through a YouTube video that showed doing these through cmd but i felt easier with minitool partition wizard. Again i say this is no promotion.. I have done what i have felt easy and comfortable...

    Hello, As per Microsoft’s support article, Windows 10 KB5034441 brings a security vulnerability fix related to Bitlocker encryption. The update requires sufficient space in the recovery partition, and if it’s not large enough, the installation fails. The error message may also include “Windows Recovery Environment servicing failed (CBS_E_INSUFFICIENT_DISK_SPACE). You may also encounter this error on your Windows 10 device, error message stating 0x80070643. Please refer to the information below and follow the steps below. https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/kb5034441-windows-recovery-environment-update-for-windows-10-version-21h2-and-22h2-january-9-2024-62c04204-aaa5-4fee-a02a-2fdea17075a8 Best Regards, Hania Lian

    My PC does not have a recovery partition and Microsoft recommended that it can be safely ignored. However, policies enforce by organization block me from login if patches is not applied. Could Microsoft recall this patch while fix in on the way?

    A month has now passed and Microsoft has still not done anything.
    For systems without RE, the update is still being offered and then fails.
    And everyone else, including pure end users, are told to change the partition size manually... a joke!

    "We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release."
    Together then with Windows 12 or even earlier? ;-)
    Regards, Martin
