The current Patch Tuesday Recovery partition size and winre update issue sounds the same as what Microsoft mentioned in the fall of 2022. November 2022, I think it was. The Recovery partition was too small, needed to be resized to at least 800MB (I think), and then winre.wim there could be updated. Same situation in Jan 2024 I think.

I remember that after doing the resizing and updating work, there was still a possibility -- You can have that updated, but what prevents someone from swapping out the winre.wim to the previous UN-updated version? The Recovery partition isn't Bitlockered, is it? And is that still a possibility? Pop the drive out. Swap the winre.wim file on Recovery. And then you get it to boot into the unupdated winre environment. Is that still a flaw? Was it an actual flaw? If it is, it's an extra step. Add in nvme SSDs or having them soldered in to make that step more difficult.
