KB5034441 Security Update for Windows 10 (21H2 and 22H2) - Jan. 9 Win Update

john7 said:

Sorry back The update failed on my laptop after the w10 reinstall. I took it I needed to make the Partition even bigger so did that but no good as reagentc /enable comes up as its no found. There are so many instructions now I am totally lost as to how to activate it

Run cmd (admin) dir R:\Recovery\WindowsRE /a /s

and post result

When copying the WinRe.wim to C:\windows\system32\recovery what about the Reagent.xml file and its contents?
Theres no mention of this file, how it gets used or its contents on how or what configures these values i.e. the offset etc?
Moreover, the recovery partition also has a copy or variation of this xml file.

@swegmike

I always use a fresh .xml but it will be updated. Don't worry.

Your attachment from #239 shows that there is something
so run dir R: /a /s

that gets and looks like I ended up merging?

The 2 files are there
1. boot.sdi
2. winre.wim

why is there a merged_partition content ? What did you do?

Wait for 5 minutes. I check a plan

Edit:
#239 says that is disk 1 now! What happend?

@Pentagon - I assume you copy the "fresh" reagent.xml" from the install disk (I haven't looked) where the Winre.wim was copied
from to c:\windows\system32\recovery . My reagentc /info says I'm already disabled although info it contains is missing due to a bad configuration to the recovery partition which I'm trying to fix along with fixing it for this KB #.

After the reinstall there were two partitions there one after windows with nothing in and the original one I created for recovery which the reinstall had added the data. My silly idea was to merge them when the update didn't work.
