Win 10 update failed.

Is hiding the update our best path here? Is this not effective sweeping it under the rug? I have two hp laptops with this issue.
Are we waiting for MS to fix it or is it going to be something we need to do - ie resize the partition appropriately?

There’s a script to resize the partition here
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...a-726ebac6bbf6
But I’m worried about that going wrong.

There’s also a resize winRE guide which again I’m a bit hesitant about.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...9-24c8229763bf

Are any of the free partition tools able to resize the winRE in a more user friendly way?

This update issue KB5001716 has nothing to do with the KB5034441 update that you are referring to (which required expanding the Recovery partition size to resolve).

Apologies, it shared the same error 0X80070643 and a couple of mentions about the partion in the thread I assumed they were the same problem because it shares 0X80070643. My mistakes

I did not do anything else to try and fix it, but this morning I manually ran update with no errors.
But it didn't install anything but a Defender update.

Looks like Microsoft withdrew whatever it was.
Marking solved.

Big update of the kind that requires restart dropped today with no problems.
Microsoft fixed whatever it was and case closed.

was update in post a "feature" update
or "quality"
or what type was it

doesn't seem like a good idea to update

The last big update was 3 quality updates + malicious software removal tool.
Everything works fine as far as I can tell.

what was update that caused initial problem
seems like there were two
how in the world is there an update from oct that microsoft never fixed for so long
what in the world is this microsoft company...
have no idea still if my problem was also caused by this same thing
