I followed every step and almost everything worked as intented, except by the fact that when I checked reagentc /info, i noticed that the recovery partition had changed. Now, when I checked the partition list, I notice that the changes in space worked, but now they are all named Primary, and non of them says Recovery. Is there something wrong there?

Other option is to ignore this repeated error. MS may find a different solution for this update that does not require so much recovery partition. Also, this change only matter if you are using BitLocker to encrypt your drive(s). If not, this update is not required especially for Windows 10 Home users that can't activate BitLocker; Pro and above versions only. Same code base, however, so they are pushing this change to everyone in case you upgrade your license to Pro or other in the future. Dumb, but it's a just in case CYA move by MS.

its ur disk partition style, you might be MBR not GPT so do the other one

If you are getting an error of not being able to shrink the partition, you are probably selecting the wrong partition. I wasn't paying close enough attention and I selected the recovery partition (so for him it was partition 4) before trying the shrink command, but it wouldn't let me. But we are trying to make the recovery partition larger not smaller. So we are selecting a different partition to shrink first so that there is enough space to make the recovery partition larger. I had read an article about this error and thought that for some reason Microsoft needed the recovery partition to be smaller, and I was very confused because that makes no sense. And of course it made no sense, because that wasn't what they wanted you to do haha. You need a larger recovery partition for the update to work.

Cheers mate.. my drives were getting full and this update was causing too much grief. I tried following a microsoft forum but it was half greek to me. I was doing so much this morning trying to fix the issue based on microsoft advice short of going cmd prompt. When I finished the steps the update was still stagnant/ causing issue but I did a reboot and it took no problem. Really appreciate this video!

Worked perfectly for me. Mine was MBR but had no asterisk. Had to use the id=27 method. Thank you MrDabrudda!

250mb never worked for me, so changed to 750mb, which worked. Great video, thank you so much. As it is now updated, do we need to change anything back?

Also......if you are going to increase the size of the Recovery Partition (and shrink the OS part), why only do a 250mb increase. It's not like you are going to miss even a 1 GB less disk space on the OS part, and if you increase more than the required 250mb, it may prevent MS screw up and needing more space in the future....Thoughts?

Hey, sorry for the trouble, but I would really appriciete some input. I researched online about how to extend my primary partition, since I ran the shrink command on it twice by mistake, and what I tried didnt work. The command promt told me the disk doesnt have enough space to extend, which makes no sense to me since it did have said space before I shrunk it. So, is there any way I can extend my primary partition up by 250mb since I shrunk it by 500mb on accident? Or, am I wrong about having double shrunk it, and running the shrink command twice didnt actually cause any issues?

@iSentinelHD

4 ай бұрын

Hello @MartinDestro, You can extend a partition there a few ways I believe you can do this now the easy method may be by holding Windows Key +R and type diskmgmt.msc Make sure you select the partition of the Drive that you shrink. You should be able to right click and click extend volume. This should only allow you to extend the volume to available space that is available. This should work long as you didn't delete the partition drive or did something that may conflict from being extended but don't take my word on it however it should work. You can also use the command prompt as administrator and do the same following where you shrink the partition and instead of typing shrink type extend You may be able to try this command: EXTEND SIZE=250 DISK=N Change [N] to the Disk Number to learn more type: help extend and it will provide you with some additional info You could try typing Extend than hit enter I'm not sure this is the best way it may not be the best way would be opening your disk management and clicking on your drink right click and click Extend Volume and it should allow you to increase the volume so if you shrink it twice than you want to increase it to 250 if you do not feel comfortable I would suggest opening your disk management right click on your C Drive or whichever Drive letter right click and click extend volume Extend Volume wizard will popup click Next make sure you select your Disk and select the amount of space and raise that to the highest number available click next and it should put it back to the way it was before you shrink it than follow this video again and make sure you only shrink one time unless you need to shrink twice. I do hope this answer your question and there are videos out there that shows you how to extend and incase you don't remember. When command prompt is open type: reagentc /info look for /device/harddisk0/partition4 now yours may be different yours may have a 1 instead of 0 diskpart - This will enter you to the Disk Partition and Disk Drive than type: list disk - This will show you available Disk than type: sel disk 0 Change 0 to your Disk number than type: list part This will list available partition drive than type: sel part [N] Change [N] and put the number without the bracket or [ ] for example it should look like sel part 3 whichever your primary partition is than type: shrink desired=250 minimum=250 to extend type: Extend Size=250 Disk=0 Make sure to select the right Disk if you need to change 0 to the Disk number that you trying to extend. after you completed this you should be good to go now remember you could run into error again on the next windows update so if this video help you save this video. If you do not feel safe and your instinct is telling you don't listen to my advice like I said research before doing anyone advice, suggestion or input and the best and safest way would be opening your Disk Management. I believe the easy method would be opening your Disk Management click on your C Drive or whichever Drive that you shrink right click and click extend volume. Be careful to not delete your disk as you could delete important data or may mess something up big time you only want to select the disk and increase the amount and hit next and again make sure you research if you try my suggestion I would recommend backing up your important data before doing so and if this does help you with no error no problem reply or give a like. I highly recommend researching first before doing anything and hopefully you read first before doing anything first.

Thank you for the help!! I had to change my recovery partition as I came from a MBR partition and converted to GPT, which wouldn't let me expand my recovery partition any more because it wasnt contiguous (next to each other in the partition mapping) So I used disk manager and shrunk the OS partition 750 MB to then apply the new recovery partition to the new unallocated space. Yes, I lost out on 528 MB of space, which i could just reformat; but I have the update and can now update to Win 11 finally. Thanks again.

thank you so much for this. I had just installed an app of google and then went to check if my pc needed an update and saw that error. That made me think I had just installed a virus onto my and was so worried. I will definitly come back to your channel next time I have a problem like this.

Every computer fix channel should be exactly like this one. Straight to the point and very clear... The only thing I would've suggested is how to turn off THE SECURITY SETTINGS. I only disabled all my windows security options temporarily so I hope that was enough and I didn't screw anything else up. I'm just glad I was paying attention enough not to delete my Primary Partition haha. I'm not one to mess around with the command prompt but you seemed to know what you were talking about right off the bat so I felt confident following your directions... Thanks again.

Appears to only work if the partitions are in the right order. When Disk Management shows recovery partition at end all is good but when recovery partition is tat the start the recovery partition does not expand in to the newly created space. I am guessing there is a way to do this by stealing more drive space from the primary and then somehow creating the new recovery in the new empty space but I am not sure of the commands and sequence?

Thank you for your step-by-step instructions. I found it easier to do the fix than reading the instructions. It worked and the download of the KB5034441 security update was seamless.

Hello when I write shrink desired=250 and minimum=250 it cause me error and it says: Virtual disk service eror: The specified shrink size is too big and will cause the volume to be smaller than the minimum volume size

If you're recovery partition happens to not be the last partition, you cannot use this process. It is likely the last partition by default for most systems. I have systems that are not configured as such unfortunately. Then it becomes necessary to use utilities to shrink and move partitions to allow free space after the current recovery partition. It's possible to relocate the recovery partition as well to the end, but that's a little more involved.

​@@fretizpaulrenaison5771They are going to provide a fix, so you may want to wait on that. However, you need a tool like MiniTool Partition Wizard (free version available) installed. Always good to have a backup of the drive if possible. Tools are not perfect. Using this tool, you shrink your main data partition (usually the largest one) by 250+MB. This will likely require a reboot. Depending on where the recovery partition is, use the same tool to move the partitions so that the unallocated free space is just after or just before the recovery partition. Then resize the recovery partition to include unallocated space. Then run Windows Update. This is what worked for me.

So if I have only 2 partitions for my disk and partition 2 is my recovery, I can still do it? I am having another issue with my computer at the moment and I am not sure if this is the issue or not. It would be nice if I could show you my screen and be in a call with you to see what you think for a few minutes.

​@@ethansams3430 Sorry, I don't connect for security reasons. Your description likely means that you have an older non-UEFI setup, but I'm not as familiar with that since it's been quite a few years since I had a system without the EFI system partition and dealt with that. However, the concept is the same. If there is a large partition and then the smaller recovery partition (typically 500ish MB), then you need to shrink the first partition down by 500MB (at least 250MB), then move the recovery partition left to start at the beginning of that new free space after the larger partition, and finally resize the recovery partition to include the now trailing 500MB you created at the end. My only concern is if the partition tool (e.g. Minitool Partition Wizard) will or needs to change the MBR (Master Boot Record; pre UEFI boot record) to the new location after the move of the recovery partition; if needed. The tool should should warn about that or handle it. As always, a backup of the drive is a good idea. Partition |Recovery| Partition | |Recovery| Partition |Recovery| | Partition |Recovery | Size not scale, but this is what the tool should show as you perform each step; Start After freeing space (called Resize or Shrink in tools) After move of recovery After resize of recovery

haha, I'm strong I resisted. (And I don't think it would have worked because my partitions are not in the right order for these instructions to work apparently. Anyway I think it's only relevant if you use bitlocker.)

Worked a treat! Thanks so much for taking the time to help get this bastard update to install.

Thank you so much for this, it was so helpful to a novice. One note- for me, I had MBR, Not GPT. I also only had 3 partitions, not 4. I did get rid of the Recovery one... also noted that the size went down 250 mb. Trying to update now.

hey i also goofed when doing this and deleted my recovery. I did it all over again and skipped the part after =250. on the website he provided i skipped letters G and H. and it worked for me. good luck!

this didn't work for me. I followed all the steps and now at the end I am not able to enable reagentc. On top of that the install still doesn't happen.

Run the command reagentc /setreimage /path to set the location of the Windows RE image file. For example, if the file is in C:\Windows\System32\Recovery, run reagentc /setreimage /path C:\\Windows\\System32\\Recovery. This helped me enable It

@cme4434

If you cannot enable reagentc after this process, you will likely have to extract winre.wim from install.wim on the win10 installation disc or thumb drive and place it in win32 ecovery folder. U-tube it. I had to do this for mine and it worked. That said, I did get it to enable, however the after the process of growing the recovery partition size to more than enough, the update still fails.

Thanks MrDabrudda. Waited weeks for MS to fix this but your solution mostly worked Problems: 1. DiskManagement showed 2 Recovery partitions. So after checking around I removed the one that was not active 2. format quick fs=ntfs label=”Windows RE tools” FAILED. MS update still not working. After some checking I found the partition was not ntfs or labeled. I labelled it correctly but using Paragon Partition Manager but even that would not format it properly. Solution was to follow written instructions above re CHKDSK AND DISM Final reboot and all good :)

I have no dobut that Microsoft did this on puropse, or really for the most part--they have no desire to fix the error. Afterall, Microsoft will stop supproing Windows 10 in another year, they want you to move on.

Worked perfectly for me thanks very much :)

What if I have two recovery partitions?@@MrDabrudda

Just a question. After doing all this the thing finally installed but it seemingly installed a new disk (in This PC) which exactly have the size of the partition (for me it went from 577mb to 828 mb)...is it normal to happen? also,my disk was an mbr or whatever that non-gpt name was

Worked perfectly, thanks very much. I had 3 recovery partitions for some reason but I just actioned it on the 1st one (Disk0, partition 4)

it didnt work for me strangely. i tried twice and now i got 500 mb unallocated space. why doesnt it transfer to the RE volume?

Thank you! This worked!... Would you suggest what the best size for the Recovery partition should be? Mine is 15GB. Thanks so much for the time invested. This was not for the faint of heart!

Add another "Thanks!" to the list @MrDabrudda ! You holding our hand with this video, as we proceeded with the steps textually outlined in the Microsoft link you posted....made the world of difference. Cheers and thanks again for having taken the time to do this and helping others. 😀

What do you do if you are working with a system that had originally Windows 10 v1904 or prior? In these cases, the Recovery partition is the first partition on the disk, and the OS is the last partition on the disk. So, when you shrink the OS you have two non-contiguous sections of disk space and, without a partition editor, no way to combine them. Then there is the situation where you have an HP or Dell or Lenovo or any other machine that still has all the crapware that these companies load their computers down with, and naturally those partitions are after the OS partition, and the recovery partition is at the end of the drive, so once again, you are left with a need for a partition editor. And then there is the problem where the WINRE.WIM fil is so far out of date that the update can't merge the changes into the file. There are just three of the scenarios I've come across while trying to come up with a plan to fix almost 1000 of the 15K endpoints our company controls.

Thanks for this video! Should be included on that Microsoft explanation post!
