Thank you for your response, but that is not what I asked for. Just a simple direction to wanted recovery partition, then I will deal with this Windows Security Update.

That post of mine above was not for you.

With no recovery partition (or recovery partition is too small) when you run "reagentc /enable" it creates the recrovery environment in C:\Recovery. So now you can run KB5034441 update.

Guys,

Some help here, please.

I did all steps for creating recovery partition, it is harddisk2 and partition 2 for me. It is 515Mb big, I assigned letter to it temporarily, just to see if it will be filled up with some files. It is MBR, so I did set id=27.

When I did reagentc /enable and reagentc /info it shows me

\\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk2\partition1\Recovery\WindowsRE

where my Windows is installed and not showing partition 2, created as recovery and it stays empty. I did all things to set path to partition 2, everything was successful, but reagentc /enable put it in wrong partition. I want this scenario

\\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk2\partition2\Recovery\WindowsRE

Checking log file it says that does not have enough of space, but it did, when I calculate sizes of files. This is not related to Windows update yet which requires more space, it is related just to creating recovery partition where I want it to.

What can I do here to make reagent /enable put recovery files to my dedicated partition

\\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk2\partition2\Recovery\WindowsRE

Thank you.

Did you execute reagentc /disable before creating the recovery partition?

Thank you KUFR.
I was aware of this script, but do not know how to use it. Do I copy all of the instructions within the script and paste into Powershell.
Can anyone provide exact instructions on how to work with the script and insert into PS?
Thank you

Great! It's there!
now copy & paste into cmd
Reagentc /setreimage /path R:\Recovery\WindowsRE /target C:\Windows

Wait for the system response!
Then
reagentc /enable
wait for 5 seconds
reagentc /info

Edit: I am waiting for your answer!
Did you fall asleep?

OK! The game is over! Good luck.

Sorry, Pentagon. I finally did it. I got the update!



Thank you so much for sticking it out with me and helping me to the end. I greatly appreciate it!

Kind regards,

tecknot

It's been over a week, why isn't MS pulling the update? I know it isn't being offered if windows update does it's background checks but manual checks still find it and fail. They should not be expecting users to go through hoops to sort this out.

Perhaps because it works for recent Windows 10 installs.
