Windows update KB5028997 WinRE partition help

ageekhere

With the update of KB5028997 my recovery partition did not have enough free space so I got an update error for KB5028997. I followed this guide from Microsoft 

https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/topic/kb5028997-instructions-to-manually-resize-your-partition-to-install-the-winre-update-400faa27-9343-461c-ada9-24c8229763bf#articleFooterSupportBridge=communityBridge

The issue is that the Windows RE location was moved to partition2 instead of partition3

Windows RE status:         Enabled
    Windows RE location:       \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition2\Recovery\WindowsRE
    Boot Configuration Data (BCD) identifier: cc6dc1a1-baee-11eb-ba82-b870f4a24531
    Recovery image location:
    Recovery image index:      0
    Custom image location:
    Custom image index:        0


 

DISKPART> list part

  Partition ###  Type              Size     Offset
  -------------  ----------------  -------  -------
  Partition 1    Primary            100 MB  1024 KB
  Partition 2    Primary            222 GB   101 MB
  Partition 3    Primary           1085 MB   222 GB

I have tried the following
 

xcopy /e /h /k /o /x /y \GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition2\Recovery\WindowsRE \GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition3\Recovery\WindowsRE

"File not found - WindowsRE
0 File(s) copied"

bcdedit /set {current} recoveryenabled No
bcdedit /set {current} recoverysequence \GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition3\Recovery\WindowsRE
"The entry list data is not valid as specified.
Run "bcdedit /?" for command line assistance.
The parameter is incorrect."

bcdedit /set {current} recoveryenabled Yes


How do I move the Windows RE location back to partition3?

Delete the existing Widows RE partition then run step 5 in the guide you linked to recreate it.

I deleted the existing Windows RE partition and redid step 5, however reagentc /info still shows

 

Windows RE location:       \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition2\Recovery\WindowsRE

Should be 

 

Windows RE location:       \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition3\Recovery\WindowsRE
