You said, “I already own a splitter that converts this jack to separate TRS (TRRS?) speaker and microphone jacks.” I’m just wondering if you are correct. The picture on the back of the M4 Mac mini dock appears to be a headset only jack. To use the splitter that you mentioned, you would have to have a TRRS jack in order to provide support for both a speaker (headset) and a microphone.

I don’t think the recovery partition can be empty. I had to extract Install.ESD from a new ISO of Windows 10 and convert it to install.wim. Then, I had to extract the proper WinRE.wim file, corresponding to the version of Windows that I had and also the ReAgent.xml file. Then I had to figure which partition to put them into (I had several recovery partitions), and I had to activate it. I did manage to get KB5034441 to install after that. Here are some references:

HDCleaner repeatedly crashed on my computer. I would run it repeatedly and it would occasionally remain long enough to get the main screen installed. Then, I would ask it to analyze something and it would crash. I tried restarting it – nada. I tried rebooting my system. That did not help. I tried the 32-bit version. That crashed repeatedly also.

Just for giggles, I used CHKDSK on my system – 1 TB SSD Drive as the C: drive, Windows 10 2004). I use Macrium Reflect nightly. It took 10 minutes to get my system back from the dead. I don’t think the problem is fixed it yet.
