Glad you got it all working again.Everyone knows Patch Tuesday is preceded by Image Monday using one of the free disk imaging programs like Paragon Backup and Recovery Community Editionhttps://www.paragon-software.com/us/free/br-free/#No more clusterfarks.
I've programed in Fortran IV, CP/M and MS DOS and learned computers are very literal, no skipping steps allowed. I've tried and it never ends well. But some days it is harder to stay focused than others.
Why do you use WuMgr?
KB5034122 does include Windows 10 servicing stack update and something to do with BitLocker (again).This update makes quality improvements to the servicing stack, which is the component that installs Windows updates. Servicing stack updates (SSU) ensure that you have a robust and reliable servicing stack so that your devices can receive and install Microsoft updates.If the servicing stack is not updated then the reliability of future Microsoft updates could be affected. I suppose if all future Microsoft updates are declined or uninstalled then it is a moot point.
Yeah. I hope people didn't interpret the thread title as meaning that one should ignore the update entirely, forever.
Extra credit reading: Microsoft has released a PowerShell script to automate updating the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) partition in order to fix CVE-2024-20666, a vulnerability that allowed for BitLocker encryption bypass.https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-shares-script-to-update-windows-10-winre-with-bitlocker-fixes/
The newsletter article has a lot more info about the patch. A good read.
"To further reinforce my advice not to resize yet, I used a free partition tool on one of my impacted computers. After it ran, the recovery partition was no longer recognized. I fixed that by extracting WinRE.wim from a Windows 10 ISO, then forcing the system to repair itself with a fairly complex process. I’m not going to describe it because I don’t recommend you try it, but it illustrates the danger associated with the problem."
