20240520 UPDATE: I just ran winupdate on an ancient win10 surface and after the same 643 error two more times, and running through all the available updates, it's now reporting I'm up to date. yippee.
I guess the latest update finally fixed it, at least on the Surface.

Anyone tried and succeeded? Not too awful plodding through the resizing? Tips to avoid destroying a partition and having to reinstall the os?

They can avoid needing to repeatedly reinstall the OS by selecting a more stable OS.

    They don't need to reinstall the OS to resolve this issue though, unless they absolutely fucked their paritions.

    Which is why Microsoft couldn't automate a fix. It's incredibly easy to fuck your partitions to hell and back, especially through Windows. Too many conditions to check for and try to handle automatically.

    It’s incredibly easy to fuck your partitions to hell and back, especially through Windows.

    Fun fact: Windows won't allow you to delete any EFI partition (that is the only one I know of/tried) unless its through diskpart with a specific override/force option.

    But then again, I somehow nuked my recovery partition by accident at some point as well.
