It's really difficult to automate expanding the recovery partition, because many people have alternative OSes installed and moving partitions around willy-nilly can disrupt their ability to boot, as well as Windows 10 boot itself if an alternative boot manager is installed. (Microsoft probably doesn't want to take the heat if they disrupt Linux installs.) But doing it manually isn't usually a huge issue.

Can confirm. Have had to automate this before, and even in an environment with consistent partitions it was very much a "hold onto your butts" moment.

Microsoft must own that website cause that fails to load too.

Yeah this update might brick your computer, no we won't fix it, yeah you're forced to install updates

The best is when it tries and fails, on a server/PC that doesn't have the recovery partition. Throws off reports...management just sees an update not installing and doesn't care that it is a bullshit patch for that system with no recovery partition.
