I'm getting a download error when trying to install Windows update KB5034441 on Windows 10. I saw an article from Microsoft that said this was a known issue and to ignore it, but I can't because not having Windows up to date prevents me from running remoting software for work. The only solution according to work is to clear this error somehow.

I retried the update and restarted but the result was the same. This is the Microsoft article I looked at: KB5034441: Windows Recovery Environment update for Windows 10, version 21H2 and 22H2: January 9, 2024 - Microsoft Support

Edit:

I looked through some articles online about this and want to make sure these are the correct commands. Is recovery the same as winre? Or do I not have a winre thus do not need to delete this?

part 3 is primary
part 4 is recovery
disk 0 is gpt

These are the commands I'm thinking about using, do I need to make corrections?

reagentc /disable
diskpart
list disk
sel disk 0
list part
sel part 3
shrink desired=250 minimum=250
sel part 4
delete partition override
list disk
create partition primary id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac
gpt attributes =0x8000000000000001
format quick fs=ntfs label="Windows RE tools"
list vol

I am limited in the software that I can install on this machine due to work. Would the commands works? That is at least something that comes with Windows so it's not installation required. I just wanted to make sure I was using them correctly since in the Microsoft article you have to customize the numbers according to your system. If that doesn't work, I'll ask if I can install this software, though I don't know if I'll get the ok.

As someone that is a Desktop Support Analyst, this would be the correct solution as you are looking to do commands/changing how the computer works that may need admin credentials so your work’s IT team should be assisting you with this.

Google and I are the IT department, we just have to play nice with vendor software. They have no authority over the machine, but if it doesn't meet the requirements it won't work with their software, so I try to keep it clean. I was able to update my commands and have someone look over them just in case in another forum. Added this to the end, everything else I kept the same.

exit
reagentc /enable

Read the article:
answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/update-kb5034441-fails-to-install/1b127728-67ce-4206-8978-b3b0e38044a8
As per this article, If you'd like to wait for Microsoft to issue an update, simply hide the KB5034441 update using the WUShowHide.diagcab tool
download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f22d5fdb-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcab
Thats all. This will allow the system to ignore this error in update and proceed with other updates.
