Hi Meeker Morgan,
Can you tell us what update you were attempting to install?
Kind regards,

Which update? Build number?
Search tenforums for recent posts on that error number and you will find many discussions.
Could relate to the widely experienced well-known Recovery Partition problem with a couple of updates.
A good number of threads already exist on this.
See e.g.
KB5034441 Security Update for Windows 10 (21H2 and 22H2) - Jan. 9
and comments following.
You can hide the update if the underlying problem is related to the Recovery Partition if you wish. Tutorial available or use WUmgr (free).
It just dropped today.
And thank you for your reply.
See:
Issue with KB5001716 update on March 5 2024
and the News item for this update.
the solution, for now, is to use the microsoft show or hide update tool, to hide the OLD, obsolete update that windows update is repeatedly trying to install.
here are instructions for using the microsoft show or hide windows update tool:
Hide or Show Windows Updates in Windows 10

- this is easier.or use WUmgr (free).
Well it's some comfort to know it isn't a particular problem with my system.
I'm taking it as "solved" for now. The solution being don't bother about it until they fix it.
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

But I’m worried about that going wrong.
There’s also a resize winRE guide which again I’m a bit hesitant about.

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