Windows update (KB5034441) Error (0x80070643)

When I tried to install the windows update "2024-01 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034441)" I received the error code (0x80070643).

I have already tried, restarting my computer, waiting a bit before retrying, running a memory diagnostic check, checking all my drivers for updates, installing optional updates, and running a malware scan.

When I tried to run the windows update troubleshooter it said "diagnosing problems" but never fixed them and I was still unable to install the update after running the trouble shooter.

Any help would be appreciated.

    That's all users here can suggest. Microsoft published a possible fix to increase the size of the recovery partition.

    IF YOU FOLLOW THIS LINK, THIS FIXES THE ISSUE!

    Microsoft needs to fix the update and re-release it so that thew update can decrease C: Drive by 250MB, delete the Recovery partition and re-create the Recovery partition with a larger size to allow the update to be successsful.

    I will wait. The actions to resize the reovery partition did NOT work. Something else going on here. Funny this does not affect Win 11???
