KB5034441 updates

Microsoft released its monthly Patch Tuesday updates, including KB5041580, KB5041578, KB5041773, and KB5041782 for Windows 10, and KB5041585, KB5041592, and KB5041571 for Windows 11 across versions 23H2, 22H2, 21H2, and the new 24H2. The company retired the problematic KB5034441 and KB5034440 WinRE updates, which caused the "0x80070643 - ERRORINSTALLFAILURE" error due to insufficient space in recovery partitions. These updates were initially meant to address a BitLocker Secure Boot bypass vulnerability (CVE-2024-20666). Microsoft acknowledged that an automatic fix for the installation failure would not be provided, leaving manual workarounds as the solution. The retired updates have been replaced with new support documents KB5042321 and KB5042320, which clarify that the update requires 250 MB of free space in the recovery partition to install successfully. Users are advised to resize their recovery partitions if necessary.
