kb5034441 failing on workstations upon reboot

[hippopotamus_chocolatebar]

Hello,
I'm part of a team responsible for managing around 500 Windows workstations and servers. We've encountered an issue with a specific update, kb5034441, failing on some of our workstations upon reboot. Some of these workstations lacking the recovery environment enabled are experiencing this problem.
I've come across several threads discussing kb5034441. Is there a solution available to address this vulnerability?

Computers without a recovery partition do not need this update. Try using the Show/Hide tool to hide it.

If a computer has a recovery partition and it is too small, Microsoft has a Powershell script that may be able to enlarge it.
