After 3 months since KB5034441 was released, it still won't install

As far as I know, it hasn't been updated. But the new Recovery Partition will be too small as well. In case you run a new installation, you have to now how to use copy & paste.
Then the new Recovery will be ready in less than 5 minutes.

reagentc /disable

diskpart
sel disk # (replace # by the right disk number. see diskmanagement, mostly 0 or1)
sel par 4
delete partition override
sel par 3
extend
shrink minimum=1025
create partition primary
format quick fs=ntfs label="Recovery"
set id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac
gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001
exit

reagentc /enable

I finally got around to trying this, but had an error during the shrink minimum=1025 command.

Code:

DISKPART>  shrink minimum=1025

Virtual Disk Service error:
The specified shrink size is too big and will cause the volume to be
smaller than the minimum volume size.

After running those commands, here's what my Disk Management of my system looks like (Basically C: is my OS drive, a 256GB M.2 Drive, and D: is just 500GB of additional NTFS storage for Games/Misc/Etc)

You could try this first
delete hiberfil.sys by command

powercfg /H off

delete all Restore Points

try again
diskpart
sel disk 0
sel par 3
shrink minimum=1025
create partition primary
format quick fs=ntfs label="Recovery"
set id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac
gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001
exit

reagentc /enable

If it still not possible to shrink the volume it's probably the location of the $MFT that blocks the shrink-process.

In those cases I used "Partition Expert Free Edition" successfully

Partition Magic Freeware to manage Disk Partitions

select: Resize/Move Volume ...
That program doesn't create "RAW" partitions!

Just following up that following through with this worked. Not sure if it was removing of the Recovery Points or Hibernation file or what, but following through with this worked as expected without the need to check out that third party utility.

Appreciate it! Time to take a look at the second computer this weekend or when I get time :) Cheers!

When you run Windows Update you can check the success by this command:
Dism /Get-ImageInfo /ImageFile:\\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition4\Recovery\WindowsRE\winre.wim /index:1

The Service Pack-Build should be: 3920

Well this doesn't look very good! See attached, maybe I did something wrong. Update is installed according to Windows Update, and checking for updates shows nothing available.

run cmd
reagentc /info

Bitlocker! turn it off first

C:\WINDOWS\system32>reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /t REG_SZ /v WinREVersion

PowerSHELL>Get-Hotfix

Turned off Bitlocker to run the test, here's the current output:

The update to 3920 was successful.

reagentc /enable
wait 10 seconds
reagentc /info
