I googled the actual KB and found this link: 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. It seems that it updates the Windows Recovery (WinRE) environment, and the tip about resizing the partition for that is valid. You can find the link to the instructions in the KB article I linked.

I did that and the installation passed.

    I feel like this might be a dumb question, but the partition that needs to shrink - is it the 100MB System one or the larger one (Primary) that has Boot and Basic Data Partition and the the majority of the drive? I'm assuming it's the larger one but I just want to make sure.

    This is another case. It affects all partitions. Shrinking drive C from the left end, moving the MSR partition to the right, moving the EFI System Partition to the right. Very unfortunate.
