Their patch made WinRE too big for recovery partitions, so they’re asking all users to just admin cmd->partition themselves?

Yeah this is gonna go real well

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The patch, released on January 9, was meant to address a vulnerability that allowed attackers to bypass BitLocker encryption by using the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE).

It’s downhill from there as users are directed to fire off commands to disable the WinRE before deleting and recreating recovery partitions.

Microsoft has asked users encountering issues with disk space – which might be concealed by the erroneous install failure error 0x80070643 – to have a go at the procedure to manually resize the partition to deal with the problem.

A glance at social media shows that the problem is widespread, and users are reluctant to apply Microsoft’s workaround.

The Register contacted Microsoft to find out if the software giant intends to update its patch or push out something that does not require hacking away at the file system from the command line after a failure.

Showing an unhelpful error message and then requiring a user to delve into the world of the command line to fix things.
