Windows 10: Windows update fails KB5034441

HiI'm on Win 10 Home 22H2 with the latest updates.My PC has been stuck updating "2024-01 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems KB5034441". I googled it and looks like many users on the MS Community are having the same issue and the solutions suggest resizing/repartitioning the WinRE partition! Things shouldn't be this hard especially when so many of us are not technical whipper snappers!!See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5028997-instructions-to-manually-resize-your-partition-to-install-the-winre-update-400faa27-9343-461c-ada9-24c8229763bfApparently

I came across this online but on bleeping computer site where this person claims it work worked on MBR but haven't tried as I'm not so sure. I had no problem with Microsoft's diskpart instructions for a GPT disk, but when I tried their instructions for MBR disks it fails as it chooses the wrong partition. Check the log file "c:\Windows\Logs\ReAgent\ReAgent.log" for details. The problem seems to be that the 'format quick fs=ntfs' overwrites the partition type id set in the previous step. If just after the 'create partition primary id=27' command you do 'list vol' it shows type partition type as 'Recovery'. But if you do the 'list vol' again after the format, then the type has reverted to 'Primary'. The fix is, after the format, to enter command 'set id=27'. Then when you do 'reagentc /enable' and 'reagentc /info' it chooses the correct partition. This allowed me to successfully apply KB5034441 on an MBR disk. - - - Updated - - -
