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.

    you have no right to talk to me this was. are you on meds?

    your quote on the same day ('The now infamous Windows update KB5034441 saga seems to be finally over after seven months! Today is the first day I got no error and retry that would take over a half hour to finish. See if it works for all of you. There were large updates this morning.")

    that was the same day that you replied to my question about the issue i was having. convenient. as though you had told us all that this had been fixed 100 of days and months before the fix.

    BTW i was complaining and i only mentioned it one time and you snapped at me then. i just pointed out to you that the fix you had said at that point didn't work for me and many other ppl. you've got issues. leave me out of your strange issues next time.

    I was replying to Lew Carver when he replied to Jeff W5. This was my first day on this forum to say the error ending in 441 no longer shows an error/retry this morning after updates. I'm sorry for the confusion.

    This Method WORKS. If you want to get your PC (non-BitLocker) fixed quickly and right, Just Do It. Stop complaining and follow the directions. There is no excuse. If you don't try, then don't complain - it is just like voting. Thanks Jeff W5. I have confirmed this method on three PCs, two were GPT and one MBR with NO loss of data or Programs (I did backup first). It seems where these problem PCs get into trouble is when they are upgraded with an SSD or replacement drive. The process does not transfer the Recovery Partition and the Recovery is lost for good. This Jeff W5 method COMPLETELY fixes this and gives you a WORKING Recovery Partition.

    I don't know why you're rude about this. Scolding people for not doing what you did what worked for you when many people here clearly have said they did try the suggestions and nothing worked. Others such as me didn't do anything afraid we might destroy our computers. This is a forum where the flow of information happens without having to listen to rude people such as you. None of us are complaining about this update that should have been fixed or uninstalled by Microsoft over 7 months ago. You're the one complaining.
