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.

please help

please helpsetup recovery

KB5034441 requires Windows RE enabled.

Read through the 32 pages of suggested actions on this post. There are a number of things you need to do. I advise doing the things you are comfortable with first, the simplest first, and those from the last pages last.

First from CMD line reagentc /info

Reagentc needs to be working and enabled

You might try to put the needed Recovery files in the folder noted on your main OS drive partition.

Windows > System32 > Recovery

$PBR_ResetConfig.xml

Reagent.xml

Winre.wim

(I made sure all these files came from a working Win 10 machine with the same version of Windows on another machine, this may make a difference)

Then point the reagentc to your OS partition with disable /enable (from CMD pointed to Windows > System32 > Recovery)

Then reagentc /disable

Then reagentc /enable

restart pc

CMD line Admin - reagentc /info See where the reagent recovery is pointed.

Try the update now.

Does it make sense to have your recovery files located inside the Win 10 System File Folders? Not really. However it seems to work. I also upgraded from Win 8.1 HP Laptop to Win 10. I think another solution may be a clean Win 10 install from a EDS Thumb Drive. This is a last ditch effort action.

Good luck.
