2024-01 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034441) error (0x80070643) a known issue?

The best thing to do is wait for MS to resolve the issue with the update, rather than resizing recovery drives and possibly having to decrypt Bitlocker.

MS have said (in the link below) that it is working on a solution, and that it is safe to just leave that update uninstalled for now,

Windows Update KB5034441 Fails with 0x80070643

Hi I just got a Windows update KB5034441 today that fails with 0x80070643. Is there an easier way to resize the recovery partition other than as per here perhaps with a GUI? The recovery partition having insufficient space causes the failure correct?
Thanks!

By default, WinRE is assigned its own partition. And the KB5034441 update itself is about BitLocker/WinRE.
