Used the tool to increase my partition by 1GB. Spat it's dummy 1st time, but another restart and the update worked successfully.
Good job. 👍
You only need to use the Extend option on the Recovery Partition. It will automatically resize the partition you're taking space from. Just make sure you select the correct partition to grab space from, in the pull down menu (most likely C:).
Brian you're a legend man! Long time subscriber here. I booted my old win 10 gaming PC and I got that error. I remembered you posted a vid about an update and came here for help. You never disappoint!
No, I used the free version. I used to use Gpart but this worked well. Maybe not the easiest for some to understand, but the trick is not to be scared.
That was so simple and easy to follow. MS should recruit you as their chief engineer.
They can't afford me 😂

@@Britec09 Got that right, mate! Been watching your videos for a few years now and the information has been invaluable.
In fact, just few weeks ago, my Surface Pro 3 started a boot loop with a message "Attempting to Repair" on startup. Granted I have less than 10GB free space left on the SSD but it worked fine so far. And if I boot from a Windows 10 USB drive, I am able to see all my files but none of the Windows 10 built-in options to "Restore" the PC (while keeping the data) seem to work. Watching your videos in this series makes me wonder if the issue with my SP3 might also be related to an update to the recovery partition as well as the fact that Microsoft may have downloaded an update in the background that filled up the SSD and it's unable to decompress the downloaded update files while applying the update to the recovery partition?
Thanks for all you do and keep up the great work! 👍
Win 10 Pro user. Followed the MiniTool method. Once done, rebooted and attempted to install the KB503441. It failed (error 0x80070643). Rebooted a second time, tried the update again, it sat at "0%" for a minute, disappeared, checked list of installed updates and son of a gun, there it was, successfully installed. Merci Beaucoup Brian.
Hello sir Brian. I followed every instruction of this video and it worked flawlessly. Thanks for your help and here's my like, subscription and all my respects for you. Greetings from Tehuacan, Puebla, Mexico. God bless you so much.
Do not mess with the partitions as it's a Microsoft issue. I made a new install of 10 & same error. It is not necessary to get update & they will have a fix for it soon, Just ignore it!
4 days ago they said they are working on a fix. Maybe they also have to work through some legalities with that update as I suspect they'll be modifying the partition which I assume for most would be an intrusion.
I paused all updates for thirty days
The ms instructions work. I had teo computers eith this issue. One mbr and the other gbt.
@@MrLeroyJacobi updated my pc for about 3 days ago win 10, and it works soo bad from when the update was finish, now i have the error and pc is working so hard, it takes ages till load a game or something, pausing update will solve it?
@@MrLeroyJacobI can't pause update anymore but you can use regedit to pause it, the recovery partition got resized and it still failed
Followed your instruction using MiniTool....and it worked perfactly...expept with the operation where we hane to ''extend '' the partition once it is created .....i didn't have the ''window RE minitool '' option to right clic on....i had to right clic on the ''unallocated space '' in the lil square ,bottom right of the minitool window then choose in the menu to extend partion....mayby it has to do with the fact that my OS is win10 pro....anyway....thanks for this fix.....now i can update window no problem...
Thank you very much Brian. It's seems that the mini tool is much easier to use over what is suggested by MS. But personally we should not fix their error. I would rather wait for the patch. Maybe MS want us to break our computer in order to buy a newer one.
I agree mate, glad i could help.
I've tried about a zillion ways to fix mine. I have 2 disks. The disk mine is on, when I try to shrink it by 250 I get a error saying it's too big. After more research, Microsoft is aware of the issue and will be releasing a patch to fix it very soon. So, instead of doing all this crap and possibly messing up your pc doing it. Just wait for the fix.
Diskpart program limit is 2TB MBR disk. The larger disk must be a GPT disk. Check that MBR and GPT disk type.
Should I un-hide the broken one before Microsoft next update? Or just leave it hidden?
None of this is necessary. Disable the RE environment from an elevated command prompt. Reboot and reenable the RE environment. Reboot again and then download the update. This fixes it in many cases. Though for some, it may take a couple of tries.
Waiting is now coming on 2 weeks. So Much for very soon.
@@ObakuZenCenter How do you disable re environment from CMD?
For the operation with the Mini Tool it worked because you had the recovery partition and the unallocated partition adjacent . I tried the operation when the two partitions were not adjacent the Mini Tool refused to do the job . I didn’t dare to do it the Microsoft way because of the ‘adjacent ‘ stuff . In you example you had the two partitions adjacent so every thing worked fine.
Worked slick to fix the Microsoft Windows 10 break. My computer had 2 primary partitions, so the 1st way was too risky. The 2nd method was safer and it fixed the error.
Sorry, Britec09! But do it manually like that it is a huge risk to lose all you data in hard disk.
It is highly recommended to do a backup of the entire C: before start this procedure!
Hi there...I have a question please...My recovery partition, there is no name on it and i did the second way so now i have 4GB of space on that partition. All was good on Minitool software...But it didnt worked out. Still the same update error. On my disk management the recovery partition is in the first place and not at the end like you. And there is no name, is blank. But it was the only partition that was 500 and something megabytes and also was wroten on the Minitool as a recover partition. What can i do? Thank you
Hmmm, I don't quite understand. My recovery partition is 1.61 GB and 100% free (as shown in Disk Management). Why do I still encounter this error, while the update only requires 250MB?
I simply hid the update for now because this is a silly issue
I fixed 3 computers with your video maid my life easier. Seems like i have been working to fix Microsoft problems sense windows came out in 1985. Thank You.
Great video! I have already applied the commands to my pc as well. It's pretty straight forward once you know what to do however I will not recommend anyone who isn't comfortable modifying partitions to do this and just wait for them to fix it themselves. I hope Microsoft never repeats this mistake again by telling everyone to modify partitions. I hope they will update the Installation media for currently supported versions of Windows to enforce the change.
Tx got it done with cmd, the MS article doesn't say anything about what to do when you have two drives, glad you did as i was confused about that.
My fastest. When we shrink primary partion with diskpart or disk management, no restart. Skip reagentc disable enable. Use Minitool to extend or resize WinRE partion.
I used the MiniTool Partition Wizard, and now it is fixed!
Thank you a lot!
I had zero faith that this would work. It fucking worked!!!! Dude, you are a legend and a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you for putting this out into the world.
Used the minitool route and was a breeze to get done. Update went smoothly. Thanks for that tip.
You're welcome
You must have paid for the Pro version. My free version didn't allow for this.
Windows 10 Pro user. I did it the command line driven way and it worked on both Windows 10 machines at the house. My third machine apparently had enough space, even though all 3 PCs had roughly 512MB of space initially dedicated to the WinRE partition. But hey, at least it's working now. Thanks again for the video.
Sorry but I am down voting every video that shows how to fix because this is 2024 and Microsoft knew they shouldn't have rushed the update, and to expect a very large amount of people who don't know much about computers, and software to mess with anything for windows recovery, let alone the Command prompt is the stupidest thing any company can do. You think the Nurses, Doctors, Elderly, and others are not going to damage there computer or worse screw someone else files? This is Microsoft's screw up, and they should be the ones to fix this.
I think I will wait till MS releases a real fix to the issue. Having dealt with PC for quite some time.. Changing partitions sizes on an active partition isn't the best idea. You stand a chance to hose your whole system up. This isn't something your avg joe with little experience should be messing with.
Finally gotten around to do this. It works just fine with basic drive C setup. But the geniuses that made mine set it up with recovery partition in the middle of C & F partitions. So, after trying it the way the vid shows I ran into a wall with some minimum memory size requirement for OS. So I backed up F Partition and deleted F & Recovery partitions. Repartition F (now F follows C then recovery) and then followed the section of how to make a new Recovery Partition. And did all this will being up for 36hrs and really tired.👍
Thank you very much for the simple explanation and guide to fix this annoying error! I'm building a pc for my nephew and got the windows 10 key similar to yours. I was updating it until I got that error and said F@%*. Awesome!
Mate, you are the best! Got it at the first try! No damage to my PC and the update worked.
Thank you very much!❤
I have 2(two) recovery partitions with 450 & 528 MB. Question 1: Why? Question 2: which one should I make larger? Identified the active one and deleted the unused one. All done, worked a breeze, and the KB5034441 install worked as well after unhiding. We all learned from this, ergo thanks very much.
Used the Mini Partition Tool on three of my Windows 10 machines, worked like a dream, and so quick! Thanks!
this didn't work, and now the command prompt is telling me "The Windows RE image was not found." when I try to enable. C'mon man....
I’m confused when you use minipartition you refer to partition tool that you created surely this would be called recovery if you haven’t used Microsoft’s workaround or am I missing something.
great video, i've been scratching my head for weeks. Tried emptying windows update cache. I used the manual (command line) method (very carefully) on two computers - one MBR and the other GPT. Fixed! no errors or missing updates.
It worked. Wasted about 3hrs trying other suggestions first. I had three recovery partitions, one at the start of the disk not in use, then two more at the end of the disk which I was able to delete and replace with a single large recovery partition. If I ever reinstall Windows, I'm going to manually partition it first, with a 1GB recovery partition at the end of the disk, and no 450MB partition at the start.
Brian, remember that someone can mitigate the risk of deleting the wrong object by running the command ~list ~ e.g. ~list partition~ after running any select command. The table that is generated will have an asterisk on the left side denoting the currently selected object. It isn’t foolproof, but it at least it allows the user to verify that they selected what they intended to select.
On my system the Recovery Partition is the very 1st partition with the EFI Partition 2nd then my OS is the 3rd partition. When I did a clean install of Windows 10 it just defaults to that configuration.
Has anyone else seem that difference in their partition layout?
Yes I have the same problem , in this partition config I cant expand because the EFI partition is in the middle of the two , Can I expand with a second RE ?
I’m happy to wait for the upgraded patch. Will my pc continue to work if the “upgrade” fails to install?
Your PC will continue to work.
Stop the update for a few weeks !
I like your 2nd way as to stay out of PC trouble. Using it if MS does not fix this in another week.
I have a problem disk management shows I have only 2 partitions and no recovery partition at all. How do I add a recovery Partition?
The free version of MiniTool Partition Wizard worked beautifully. I was unable to increase the size of my recovery partition with the diskpart method. I suppose it was the order of my partitions. Minitool worked like a charm after a reboot. Thank you.
Brilliant! An easy solultion that fixed a problem that's been troubling me for months. Thank you!
Hi Brian, the MiniTool method worked out brilliantly for me. The method was well explained and made everything very easy. Thank you very much.
Great video but I don’t have time to do this on over 500 computers. Microsoft needs to fix this.
I agree, could be a while.
Ok, the first method works on a GPT disk, but the first method does not work on an MBR disk, because there is an error in the MBR instruction. Microsoft has combined two instructions to the same instruction without understanding the formatting differences between GPT and MBR disks. After formatting the MBR disk, the command set id=27 must be given, otherwise the recovery partition does not exist on the MBR disk, because the partition ID is 7 (NTFS). Partition ID need to be 27 (Rocovery).
Thank you, I had the very problem you described and it is now solved!
Bit confused sorry. I gathered that the instructions were 2 parts.. first part the hard way and the second part the easy way using the tool. I skipped forward to the Mini tool part and did everything in that part but then it said that you needed to use command prompt before hand to make the bit that says ""Windows RE Tools partition".. so now im scared to do anything in case i stuff it all up lol SO do you need to do every single part mentioned in the video from the start?
@@stesski112 Well my system was messed up after this... tried to play a game and my system went to black screen, fans span up to 100% and I had to hard reset the PC. Ended up doing a complete format of the drive and reinstalling Windows 10.
@DTurboo Thank you for the offer but I did a complete Windows re-install and everything is working fine now.
@DTurboo No.. Windows updated normally.
I have spent the last three hours trying to find a doable solution. I'm not dumb but I don't work on computers and I don't know the language. Thank You sooo much for showing the easy way to do this. I might actually get some sleep tonight!
My Windows 10 system has two 530 MB recovery partitions for some reason. CanI delete one and resize the other one or will that break Windows? Thanks.
I had to shrink my partition by 500mb to make it work but you said you could do more. 250 didn’t work for me but 500 did. Thanks for the help, it was a little scary making changes like that. I’m no IT guy but you made it easy for me.
Ok Brian a good video and do you think this will eventually be an issue with Windows 11 which I run on all of my machines? Now I have checked my disk management and it shows two recovery partitions - one being 969MB and one that is 1.46GB and (I am not sure how this came about) and if being like this will be sufficient for any possible problems plus I am not sure of which of those two partitions would be of use in update problems for my laptop in the future should updates be errored?? Do you think that the MiniTool app could be used to make these two partitions into just one? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Your entire series of videos on this Windows Update error have been very informative and well done. However, after resizing the recovery partition, my Windows backup failed with a STATUS_WAIT_1 error. To fix that, I had to delete the existing backups and WindowsImageBackup folder then reconfigure a new backup. Apparently, the Windows backup functionality is closely tied to the disk partition information.
This is why you should always investigate further before doing delicate things to your system.
And thats the reason why i wont bother with it not worth any problems its easier to reinstall if needed.
I just used the windows 10 upgrade assistant, easy peasy . no faffing around with partitions
Also folks, remember that many SSD control softwares (like Samsung Magician) advise and offer the option to OverProvision an SSD. There are benefits, but the primary cost is that OverProvisioning sets aside any some (usually user discretion) amount of your drive’s capacity (Magician recommends 10%). If you have any space on the disk not partitioned, you might not need to shrink the Primary partition.
I had to download the Microsoft MCT tool to get it to fix mine. Worked like a charm though, thanks!
Thank you! Great video explanation. I used your video along with the Microsoft article to make sure I did this properly. It's pretty silly why the Windows update service couldn't have figured out to do this on its own..
For the first method, what should I do if everything seems right, but when it try reagent /enable it says “REAGENTC.EXE: The Windows RE image was not found.”? my Windows 10 works just fine, which means the steps should be right. I know because I have two desktops, both with Windows 10 Pro, and the first one it worked just fine. Any help would be much appreciated
im having the same issue
@@tylerspears6231I think this is cause Microsoft haven't fixed it yet
Thanks Brian I used your second method, downloaded mini tool partition wizard, sorted ❗ A much easier way around this avoidable problem. Thanks.
Thank you! It worked. Clear and simple instructions, very easy to follow even with people like me who's English is not very good.
ps. if after you do the 2nd fix instructed in the video and you still get the error, run the trouble shooting in the update. After the trouble shooting, try the update again and it will work. It happened to 2 of my pc after doing the 2nd fix and i just run the trouble shooting and it updated.
I stopped and didn't download the toolkit stuffs, and it worked!
Thank you, sir. You've done a better job than Microsoft themselves, even!
Good video Brian but a quick question. With either method once you delete/change the size of the Recovery partition, doesn't that mean it's empty and no longer a proper recovery for that computer?
This was a great video. Unfortunately, the MiniTool free version no longer works for resizing the recovery partition... or converting MBR to GPT for that matter. Fortunately, your instructions make it pretty easy to do with the tools within Windows 10.
Attention to the diskpart method. If the partition is recreated and not extended, the original files from Recovery/WindowsRE must be returned to it because they will disappear during formatting, and the RE system will be started in the C partition as a backup, not in the dedicated partition. Another problem will be that if a UNC path is not specified in reagentc at the /setreimage /path option, then the letter of the recovery partition when you remove it (so that you can hide the partition) will cause the complete recovery system to fail or return to the backup from C if still its present. And if the letter of the recovery partition comes back after startup, it must be removed from the registers from /mounteddevices in the dosdevices area.
I used the Hide from your previous video. Any risk in not doing anything, and just let the future updates fix it. I assume since the updates are Cumulative what I have hidden won't matter anymore once Microsoft Fix's it. Please Comment... Thanks again for your Videos.
I can't enable the reagentc again. It keeps giving image not found.
I used the mini-tool method, and it worked perfectly. Thanks!
It even has an internal tutorial that worked made it a no-brainer.
Used the MiniTool Partition Wizard (free) and it worked fine. I was a bit confused because my "Type" is labeled "MBR" not "GPT" (probably because it is a RAID setup?) and there was an unlabeled partition of the right size in the same location as what was shown in the video. I increased it's size and apparently it was the correct one (really the only one it could be) as the update went through. THANKS!
Excellent guide. Clear, step-by-step instructions on how to enlarge the windows recovery partition. Issue resolved! Thanks, Brian
I had no issues with increasing my recovery partition to 1gb and re-enabling the windows recovery.
But I do understand why others would be better with risking.
Best of all Microsoft came out last week saying that they won't be fixing the patch.
i dont get the update is it fixed now ...
My C drive shows no partitions. In Disk Management my C Drive states the following: Healthy (System, Boot, Page File, Active, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)
I have a 512 GB SSD drive for my Windows 10 Pro OS
My PC is scheduled for Windows Update on January 26, will I have problems if I only just allow the updates?
Your instructions were clear and worked perfectly. The free tool made the job easy. Thanks
Thanks it worked, you have to click apply after extending the recovery partition and reboot your system in order for the update to install successfully. For some weird reason in my case I have two recovery partitions and I found the correct one which is being used but I'm not going to bother deleting the other recovery partition as I do not want to risk breaking the system.
thank you very much. it worked like a charm. your directions step by step was easy to follow😀
I had no problem with Microsofts' instructions, apart from the fact they did not work on one of my machines. Microsoft was unable to resize the Windows partition for some reason. (BTW you may shrink a partition from the disk management window without using the command line. Just right click on the partition and select 'Shrink'. This also didn't work, so I have to use a partitioning software too.
I had the same/similar issue. All the steps I took were exactly how the instructions said, but I ended up with 250MB of unallocated memory. I went through the whole process again and I checked the size of the partition before and after every step and noticed that the size never changed at all.
Glad to know I'm not the only one with this issue
Just had this problem on my computer as always great source of information sorted the problem job done very happy
Thank you !. It worked flawlessly.
God bless you man you're so effin solid!! I had the weirdest issue with a computer not booting st work all of a sudden. Offcourse you have a video about it with explained solution n everything! 👑
Finally fixed the problem, thanks a lot for this video, you are awesome! Keep it up!
Wishing you a Happy Healthy and Safe 2024 ,💙🙏⭐🤗
Same to you
I accidentally make a mistake and formatted the disk containing windows files during installing windows 10 , later i faced an issue MBR to GPT & for this i had to format the disk (its showing all of them) but i didn't want to lose my data and i also formatted the disk now what can i do save my data 😢😢
Someone please help me!!!
Thanks worked fantastic :) tried following a lots of guide none worked, this solved the issue :)
super easy way and does not require unknown knowledge with partition program
I've fixed mine by just enabling WinRe cause I already have an existing default Recovery partition which is on partition 1 with 499mb size. It's what I came up with first before proceeding and do what's in the video and to my luck it worked! I didn't have to go through all that 😁😁😁
btw, at first I wasn't able to enable WinRE on cmd because of the error "WinRE: Could not find the Recovery Environment". Had to fix this one first.
All elevated cmd prompt actions followed to the letter, instructions are clear & straight forward & did what you stated they did.
Alas windows update still fails to install.
This video is awesome! Your knowledge is outstanding and how you explain is making me feel very confident!! Thanks!
That was installed on my computer on the 16th, I didn't even know it, I guess it went through for me on my laptop just fine.
Yes! It installed without any problem by me as well on W10 and I received no error message. I had to look at the update log where it says successfully installed. Over time I had just left updates on automatic and up till now have had no problems at all.
Using the mini partition tool worked perfectly! Thank you. 🤩
I did the Partition Magic method and still get failure. I don't care about the update. Just information. But hey, I now have a bigger Recovery partition :) Edit *** It finally installed *** Thanks Brian for being on top of things.
Thanks for sharing
Helpful video thanks very much fixed the issue I was having , your a gentleman many thanks 👍👍👍
There is another easy way. Use media creation tool, download ISO file, choose install + updates + personal apps and files and voila. Fully automatic. 30 minutes later all your troubles are gone.
Best video to resolve this issue. Thank you very much.
There is a problem
DISKPART> format quick fs=ntfs label="Windows RE tools"
0 percent completed
DiskPart has encountered an error: The parameter is incorrect.
See the System Event Log for more information.
This simple fix isn't even necessary in many cases. Instead, disable the RE environment from an elevated command prompt. Reboot and reenable the RE environment. Reboot again and then download the update. This fixes it in many cases. Though for some, it may take a couple of tries. None of this messing with partitions is at all necessary.
I can't even enable the RE anymore after fiddling with this. When typing the command reagentc /enable, It now says "REAGENTC.EXE: The Windows RE Image was not found". Also I can not find the WinRE image file (winre.wim) in the \Windows\System32\Recovery folder which is it's default location. So somehow, some step deleted, moved or hid that file so it can't even be found with "show hidden files" option enabled. I still can not get the update to work and now I can't even have RE enabled. Lose lose situation.
Just make a WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment) on a bootable USB drive alongside a clean Windows image. Job done. No need to even have a recovery partition. This will be addressed soon by Microsoft. This is literally a pointless update. Anyone tech savvy enough to be playing with their partitions will already have a bootable WinRE (on a USB or any secondary drive) and anyone who doesn't have one probably isn't going to be comfortable or safe playing with partitions.
Excelente video muy util , muchas gracias.
You're welcome
Tried both methods - no success. On Command - got the following dead end:- DISKPART> format quick fs=ntfs label="Windows RE tools"
0 percent completed
DiskPart has encountered an error: The parameter is incorrect.
See the System Event Log for more information.
Any ideas?
Much thanks for the second idea Sir, that did the trick. But now, the same update is still in the Queue to be loaded up, the system is not advanced enough to see that it is in already.
What other ideas do you have to solve this? 🤔
Thank you for the fix, I followed the instructions step by step then rebooted my computer and tried windows update, problem solved..
Worked perfectly. Thank You!!
not afraid off cmd so used the microsoft way. thank you for notifying the world on this problem
