PATCH WATCH

By Susan Bradley

January starts off the year with a bang, in the form of an install problem that may affect some of your Windows 10 PCs.

Fortunately, this problematic update is a separate security patch, not part of the normal cumulative Windows update nor of the .NET security updates.

The problem occurs as the result of a recovery partition whose size is smaller than the patch requires. The size may have been set by the OEM. It may have been fine at the time of release, but the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) now needs more.
