I've just done a clean install of Windows 10. It created a 530MB recovery partition which of course promptly failed to update with KB5034441. Shrank C: a little and expanded the recovery drive to 800GB, installed successfully now.
Was it Pro or Home Edition? Did you use the most recent version of the Media Creation tool to create your installer? I just did a clean install on Monday and it created a 546MB recovery partition which installed everything just fine. I wonder what criteria is used to calculate how big the installer makes the recovery partition during the install.

Same here, My workaround was to reinstall windows, keeping my documents and settings. This procedure is simple to undertake, as it realigns the hard drive recovery partition in which the update fault lies. I did that as soon as I posted the monthly update at 6pm UK time, as I get the updates by 7pm on my computer in the UK. a bit of an overkill, but that's the way things are sometime
sooner or later well all get cut off with a bad update, it's bound to happen sometimes it's best to just keep it simple and a simple overwrite of the files is that. Although I'm sure for some that would fail but that again is computers nothing's perfect. :)
It was Pro. No, it wasn't the latest one, the MCT now makes 22H2 19045.3803. It was the previous one, that was 22H2 build 19045.2965.
I see no pattern in how MS decides the size of the recovery partition, but I was installing to a Legacy/MBR machine with a 120GB SSD.
I've just downloaded the latest MCT and rebuilt my install media to 19045.3803, then repeated exactly the same clean install. This time it created a 554MB recovery partition, 24MB larger than before. This time round KB5034441 did install.
Well, there are two things to notice. Bothresumeobject
values in bcdedit output are set to:
{40c54273-2774-11ed-ad6a-a749d813d476}
whilerecoverysequence
is set to:
{3dad1203-af32-11ee-98e2-a8b13b70166d}
Note that this is equal to theWinreBCD id
in both ReAgent.xml files. In my caseresumeobject
andrecoverysequence
have the same value.
Second thing, the first xml file in the system directory has value:
<InstallState state="0"/>
which would suggest it is not installed/enabled. The other xml (the one on the recovery partition) has value "1" and that would suggest it should be running. In my case this value is also "1" on a laptop where RE Environment is running and hotfix is installed.
The next thing I would try is to set recovery image path with:
reagentc /setreimage /path X:\Recovery\WindowsRE /target C:\Windows
where X: is the letter where the image is mounted, to connect your recovery environment to the GPT boot record. You can assign letter with diskpart by selecting partition and executingassign letter=X
. Note that I'm not sure if:
/target C:\Windows
is really needed as I've seen examples with and without it. I can't be of more help, unfortunately.
reagentc /setreimage /?
Sets the location of the custom Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) image.
REAGENTC.EXE /setreimage /path <dir_name> [/target <dir_name>] [/logpath <file_path>]
/path <dir_name> - Specifies the directory that contains the custom Windows RE image (winre.wim).
/target <dir_name> - Specifies the Windows installation. If this argument is not specified, the running operating system is used.
/logpath <file_path> - Specifies the path of log file. If this argument is not specified, the default path is Windows\Logs\Reagent\Reagent.log.
Example:
REAGENTC.EXE /setreimage /path r:\Recovery\WindowsRE /logpath C:\Temp\Reagent.log
REAGENTC.EXE /setreimage /path r:\Recovery\WindowsRE /target C:\Windows
OK, I have only one Windows installation and it is in C:\Windows.
If I omit the target, it will use my running Windows. But if I specify /target option, then it will use C:\Windows, which happens to be the same installation.
So for computers with only one installation (big majority), does it make any difference whether /target is specified or not?
Then it doesn't matter if /target is specified or not.
By the way, I never use the /setreimage option.
I just use the following commands.
reagentc /info ---> "Windows RE status: Enabled"
reagentc /info ---> "Windows RE status: Disabled"
reagentc /disable ---> "Operation Successful"
reagentc /disable ---> "Windows RE is already disabled"
reagentc /enable ---> "Operation Successful"
reagentc /enable ---> "The Windows RE image was not found" X)
X) You don't have Winre.wim and ReAgent.xml under: C:\Windows\System32\Recovery

If you read in my thread or in my post you see that I had already given that command and everything had worked but a few days later I found the situation messed up.
However this is the outcome of the command:
For scruple, I also tried to disable and rehabilitate.

Since the "Winre.wim" is a backup I must definitely update it.
While I wait for someone to give me the subsequent operations to do I have tried to see if it is updated but I need your advice to understand if the information is back.
