One post I saw suggested that KB5034441 sometimes has issues if the partition is larger than ~900MB, so I made mine 800MB in the last attempt.
Success!
I had tried and failed five or more times to install that update using different 'recipes'. I was going to just delete the recovery partition to be done with it, but when I checked my...

After making another disk image, I successfully used Gparted to expand the recovery partition but the KB5034441 still fails to install and produces the same error code. Then I found this discussion:...
There are a few reports of the above error being caused by older BIOS which may write/corrupt the lower 1MB of RAM . The reports say this does not cause problems for W7 or newer since the OS does not...
The HDS website has problems with downloads. I was able to download it from MajorGeeks. It installed and ran fine.

That util is very slow to download/aborts downloads. Until then:

Cant run on recovery partition
Using diskpart and list vol again shows the drive letter assign for that partition did not 'stick'. I repeated the steps with the same result but was able to...
There was a problem installing Dell SupportAssist and I believe the system became unresponsive and had to be hard reset, explaining both the appcrash report and the unexpected shutdown event....

TuneupPlus runs cleanly, and I don't see anything unusual in the V2 logs other than a critical error when I tried to run the DotNet troubleshooter....
The clean install recreated my three original partitions 1)system, 2)OS 3)recovery, and now I have a saved disk image. I can restore easily so I am tempted to try once again to prep the partitions...
After the clean install I manually ran the sfc, chkdisk, memtests, hw diags, crystaldisk, with all clean results.
Later I saw the Tuneup plus script nicely bundles some of that, so next time I'll...
Very recently I replaced a bad motherboard. Most or all of those suspicious looking logs date from the time when I was rebooting over and over trying to fix the problem. I didn't realize there would...

I have a recent clean install of 10P on MBR with the basic partitions: 1)system, 2)OS, 3)recovery. I thought getting past the KB5034441 update error would be simple since I had managed similar awhile...
That site did the trick, thanks. The purchase was quick with no suspect download required once I setup an acct.
I sure wasn't going to spend even $25 to resurrect this old PC, but for $5 it was...
Thinking back, when the PC was new it came with XP preinstalled. I later upgraded to 7P with a purchased key (prob OEM). I saved the email with that key. I briefly installed 10P during the free...
The troubleshooter only says that it can't activate windows. It gives no details. If I hit "recently changed HW", it wants me to login to an account I don't have. In seems that I would have needed an...
(Re)Activation after identical motherboard replacement.
I had my 2008 era Dell motherboard fail but I was able to find a used MB matching my PC model, bios, cpu. I had saved my old boot drives for...
Here it is almost one year later and on the same PC I had a BSOD and a failure to recognize any boot media. Removing, cleaning, and resetting the M.2 SSD fixed the problem again. It does seem that...
I have failed to diagnose and fix the problem PC. I have placed three different drives in the system and eventually I got the no boot scenario/BSOD on all of them with error code 0xC0000001, or...
It is 64bit HW. I ran W7Px64 for years no issues, and W10Px64 installed, found suitable drivers and ran for a month without a hitch, so if anything I would suspect the most recent updates, or...
The machine is a Dell 630, maybe 16yrs old. Before you laugh, it has been a daily driver that entire time and W10x64 is fast enough for desktop stuff. I have newer machines and will retire this one...
So I restored just the OS partition from the old image using the latest Macrium free rescue iso v8.0.7279 on DVD instead of USB.
The last steps of the restore are:
writing partition table,
