The issues encountered with KB5034441 installing requiring
end-users(Consumer, Enterprise, SMB, Edu, Gov etc.) manual or a script:
Disable WinRE, shrink C, enlarge WinRE partition, enable WinRE
methods are and will remain the norm.
Support tickets in the Consumer and Enterprise community indicate that
Microsoft's not planning to do anything other than refer you to related
KB articles and available instructions and script.
i.e. they are not planning on automating the fix

Note: While Bitlocker issues may come into play in updating with
KB5034441, the end result whether Bitlocker is in-play/not-in-play, the
above linked articles and manual or script methods when KB5034441
fails to install will continue to be the only MSFT recommended
information and solution(s).
Could MSFT have dones a better job? Absolutely
Are they going to fix or improve upon the issue encountered in Win10
22H2/21H2? Apparently, not.
This update was offered two days ago but failed to install on either of
my computers. The recover petition on a 1TB disk was significantly
larger that they said it should be expanded to. I tried several time and
it would not go.
Tonight when I read this post, I checked if there were any updates to the
laptop, thinking it would still be offered. There were no updates to
Widows 10 22H2 19045.4170.
I have not tried the desktop tonight. It has a 2TB drive.
Not the size of the recovery partition, but the **free space**
Powershell admin session
reagentc /info
- will tell you the harddisk# and partition# of your WinRE partition
- it needs to be located after the o/s partition
Powershell admin session
Get-Volume
..will tell you the free space of the WinRE partition.
i.e. doesn't matter the size of the recovery partition or the size of the >SSD/HDD the o/s resides. What matters is the free space of the WinRE >partition and its location.
Report what you find. Nothing else is important at this stage.
I run a triple-boot of XP, Win7 and Win10. I cloned these partitions
onto an SSD, where they run ok. (though I don't enter XP except when
the boot enters it automatically to access its bcd for booting the
other two)
Win10 on the hard drive performed K5028997 just fine, I get the
ox80070643 error on the SSD version of Win10. Both Win10 partitions
show 180GB freespace after the partition. So it ain't that.
I am inclined to reclone that harddriveWin10 back up again to the ssd
with it's updates all done. Haven't done it yet as hope for a
resolution.
