Nothing to date will modify this partition. I've moved the new space next to the SRP. I've tried using 3rd party partioning software (3 different sources) to shrink another partition and gain unallocated space. I have 3 other HP computers and they all have updated successfully, and have similar setups with SSD drives. The System Reserved Partiion appears to be locked at 128 MB and cannot be accessed or expanded or merged. I'm running a Envy Phoenix 810-145qe with a 2 TB SSD (GPT Partioning). This update will not install and gives an error "We couldn't update the system reserved partition." I've been fighting this issue for 3 months or so, ever since the win10anniversary update came out.

Are there any suggestions? I even tried directions using a MiniTool Partition Wizard recommended by a friend, but that failed as well. I have no idea if that is true or just a wild suggestion. I was told that the partition might be locked from the manufacturer. It failed with the message that the system reserved partition could not be upgraded. I've used a Windows 10 uprgrade link recommended on one of these boards.

I've walked through Microsoft's recommended fix using administrator rights to extend the partition. The system reserved partition is 100 and cannot be updated.
