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.

FIX IS HERE --- > KB5028997: Instructions to manually resize your partition to install the WinRE update - Microsoft Support
This could be failing because your Windows RE partition needs 250mb extra space.
Follow the instructions linked above. Worked for me.
And it is not free - I had to pay for my 30 day license.
Why is that? :D
To this day, my computer will not finish the update. Any luck for you guys taking the waiting game?
OK - an update... SUCCESS !
I was able to move my Recovery Partition to the end of my Samsung 980 Pro physical space and upsize it from 577 MB to 1.58 GB using EaseUS Partition Master Pro (30 day license). I'm not sure how big the enlarged Recovery Partition needs to be; but 1.58 GB just happened to be a convenient size for me.
It was a little scary since I'm not at all a fan of Chinese software, but I've been happy with occasional use of EaseUS software over the years, although I admittedly uninstall and deep scan my computer right after using for privacy/security reasons.
I rebooted and tried to reinstall KB5034441 -- and it WORKED ! It did not work until I upsized from 577 MB to 1.58 GB.
I have also successfully re-established Samsung 10% Over Provisioning and Trim settings for my 980 Pro.
Looks like I am back in business, no thanks to Microsoft.
As Microsoft, they either support Windows 10 machines or they don't. We need to know either way. Partial or lacking support to "nudge" us to Windows 11 only makes users like me angry if true.
My setup:
Edition Windows 10 Pro
Version 22H2
Installed on 3/21/2023
OS build 19045.4046
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19053.1000.0
I seem to have a 93 GB "phantom" OP partition I can't delete or deactivate.
See these screen snippets:
I've disabled Trim using this this reference: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-ensure-trim-enabled-windows-10-speed-ssd-performance Note: Be careful of the double negatives " 0 (disabled) " means enabled !
I've obviously turned off Trim and Over Provisioning in the latest Samsung Magician. I've rebooted.
And yet, the Phantom OP partition is still there. Or is it? Is Samsung Magician wrong. If so, why won't the MS Update work?
Any ideas - anyone???
