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.

    select part*<WinRE partition index>*

    shrink desired=250 minimum=250

    create partition primary id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac

    gpt attributes =0x8000000000000001

    format quick fs=ntfs label=”Windows RE tools”

    list vol

    exit (from diskpart)

    You're adding confusion. Recovery partition shrunk (attempted, as it fails) 😲, nothing deleted 😲, install.esd converted when it can be opened in 7-zip 😲, partitions altered when replacing Winre.wim is enough 😲.

    This finally what worked for me (I read a lot and tried a lot of methods).

    Download Windows 22H2 from the Microsoft website. You can either create an ISO or a USB with the media creation tool (the next steps will be easier with a USB). If you use an ISO you will have to mount it virtually.

    Find the install.ESD file (usually in the root directory of the ISO or USB). Convert it to install.WIM following these steps.

    Create a directory for the install.ESD and copy the file you located above.

    From that directory, enter:

    Check the status of recovery

reagentc /info

Disable windows recovery

reagentc /disable

dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:install.esd

dism /export-image /SourceImageFile:install.esd /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:install.wim /Compress:max /CheckIntegrity

Open the install.wim with 7zip (or peazip) and scout through the directory trees to locate folder winre.wim (including reagent.xml 
copy the contents of the folder into C:\Windows\System32\Recovery (while in 7zip or peazip)

Then resize your recovery partition using the steps outlined here:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5028997-instructions-to-manually-resize-your-partition-to-install-the-winre-update-400faa27-9343-461c-ada9-24c8229763bf

    diskpart

    list disk

    sel disk<OS disk index of your windows boot drive, usually it is zero>

    diskpart

    list part

    (note from the list, information will be provided that the disk is GPT or MBR, I will address GPT)

    select part*<WinRE partition index>*

    shrink desired=250 minimum=250

    create partition primary id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac

    gpt attributes =0x8000000000000001

    format quick fs=ntfs label=”Windows RE tools”

    list vol

    exit (from diskpart)

    Finally, run:

    reagentc /enable

    run the problem update (took a long time on my computer)

    LEWCARVER, I don't know if enough people thank you for all the hard work you put in trying to help people, but ... thank you. Your instructions might not have always been a direct fix to some quirky problem of mine, but even when they weren't, your answers have always led me down closely related and interesting paths less traveled, where I've always picked up bits and bobs of knowledge; and in the end, ultimately found the root of the problem. This is at least the third time I've run into your help, and I want you to know, people appreciate you.

    This helped in my case:

    dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

    Seems that my setup was damaged and this sorted the issue.
