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.

Theodore Buis,
I'm glad it worked out for you on at least one computer. I don't think having an SSD will make a difference. I have one a Microsoft instructions worked for me.
The instructions I shared were from an earlier post in this thread when another user asked What instruction. I perhaps should have stated that.
It was from NickCossentino on 27th June.
"You may want to open (from Windows) Disk Management by typing in the Search Bar "Create and Format Hard Disk Partitions" This should open the Disk Management plug-in. Look and see what you have on your OS drive - Usually Disk 0. You will need a larger Windows Recovery Partition (Win RE). One of a size of 800KB to 1024KB is needed. You can follow KB5028997 or the video"
Uhm... not sure how 1024KB could be bigger than 1.25GB... Would you mind sharing your reference for this new sizing standard?
This has been going on for 1/2 a year. Disgraceful......
It's unacceptable.
This was very helpful for me and it worked on the old PC on which I tried it. I did have to adjust the Recovery Partition number as I had an extra Partition for some unknown reason, but it wasn't hard to understand the intent of your directions and adjust accordingly. I wasn't sure that my disk was MBR, but the Recovery Partition id=27, so I assumed it was.
My only other computer withthis problem has an SSD. I had seen some posts that seemed to say that those may involve additional issues, so I have not attempted to fix it. On it, I turned off bit locker, and may just wait until I upgrade to Windows 11.
