Hi Barry,
I am Ramya, Glad to help you today!!
I apologize for the inconvenience.
Devices attempting to install the January 2024 Windows Recovery Environment update (KB5034441) might display an error related to the size of the Recovery Environment's partition.
Important: If your Windows device does not have a recovery environment configured, you do not need this update (KB5034441). In this case, the error can be ignored.
To determine whether your device has a recovery environment configured, inspect the WinRE status by following these steps:
Open a Command Prompt window (cmd) as admin.
To check the WinRE status, run reagentc /info.
If the WinRE is configured, a "Windows RE status" field will appear in the output, with value "Enabled".
If WinRE is not configured, this field will have the value "Disabled".
Resolution:
The WinRE partition requires 250 megabytes of free space. Devices which do not have sufficient free space will need to increase the size of the partition via manual action.
For guidance on making this change, review the following resources:
A code script can be used to extend the partition size. A sample script has been provided in the documentation for adding an update package to WinRE. See Extend the Windows RE Partition.
Guidance to manually change the WinRE partition size can additionally be found in KB5028997: Instructions to manually resize your partition to install the WinRE update.
Completion of these manual steps will allow the installation of this update to succeed.
