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?

But the partition is Microsoft's own, basically no one has ever touched it themselves. So why can't they do some housecleaning to make enough space? At the very least, they could fix the error messages to be more descriptive on how to fix it.

The tin-foil in me says it's just a tactic to get people to switch to Windows 11. "Oh, I have errors with my updates? I should really try upgrading and see if that fixes it, I don't want any hackers to steal my megabytes..."
