#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : 0x80070643 installing KB5034441 -- WinRE partition too small Fix : Shrink the OS partition and grow the recovery partition Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-kb5034441-winre Run as : Elevated command prompt in Windows Expect : 20-30 minutes Risk : high Reversible : NO -- read the undo note below before running WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX You want the update installed. This repartitions the disk -- take a backup first, and do not run it on a machine without one. HOW TO UNDO IT There is no in-place rollback once the partition is deleted -- restore from the image taken in step 1. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
