    Just tried again on the Desktop and still no luck. So i'll just wait it out there.

    I don't know what the recovery partition looks like on the laptop but apparently it's one W10 device that can install the security update (usually people don't chime in to say when stuff works, so I suspect 4 or 5 other people have been able to install this on W10 without opening a Cmd window)



    Just post a screen shot of Disk Management, and I can walk you though it.

    Not eveyone's disks are set up the same. This is why we need a Disk Management screen shot before we start.

    "This update addresses a security vulnerability that could allow attackers to bypass BitLocker encryption by using Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). For more information, see CVE-2024-20666."

    Have 4 Win10 machines.
    None have BitLocker enabled.
    3 out of 4 failed with the same 'download error' everyone else is reporting.
    The only one to succeeded was a Surface Pro.
    The Surface Pro recovery partition size is 930MB, while the others range from 508MB-530MB.
    That said, I agree with

    Dont change anything in your system. It is not your problem or your fault. Just wait until Microsoft resolve this issue.
    I'm fairly OCD when it comes to these things myself, but don't feel it's worth mucking about with partition sizes, as this issue will likely get resolved sooner than later.

    With this issue being so widespread, Microsoft are going to have to come up with a proper solution. So, I think it's best to wait instead of manually adjusting the size of the recovery partition. Let them work it out for you.

    This is probably Microsoft's way to get more people to switch to Win11...

    All jokes aside, while my desktop update failed, my laptop update installed fine.
    Maybe just comes down to luck?

    My HP desktop just installed this update fine. My computer is now 5 years old and only has 546mb recovery partition. FWIW, I just did a clean install on 12/29. Maybe that has something to do with it installing OK.

    For those who wish to wait and see- or simply ignore a very specific and focussed update- consider simply hiding it.. tutorial available- or more simply done with
    WUmgr (free).

    Scan for updates, select update, click Hide.

    Otherwise it will be presumably repeated daily as a failed update - unless you have some measure in place.
    (For Pro upwards users, Group Policy for updates set to Notify would help - until the next updates...)

    I had real problems getting this to install on my System Two, whatever I tried it always failed with 0x80070643. It was not the size of any recovery partition though, because:
    a) the recovery environment wasn't enabled, and...
    b) even if it were, there would be no separate partition, on this system it would use C:\Recovery\WindowsRE instead.

    Turned out that my recovery environment was broken and I couldn't enable the recovery environment even if I wanted to. I had to replace ReAgent.xml and WinRE.wim in C:\Windows\System32 with fresh copies extracted from the install media before I could enable it. After that KB5034441 installed successfully.
