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.

    The answer? Why bother with MS's crazy update. Win10 reaches end of life 10/14/2025. Get rid of it, i.e. upgrade to Win11 or replace the PC entirely with Win11.

    I have the same issue with the error code, for both KB5001716 and now KB5034441 too. My WinRE partition can be recognized, is activated and has 4 GB, so exceeds the limit of 250 MB.

    What I wonder about: Does the order of partitions of the system volume play a role here? Usually, it is:

    EFI system partition -> Start partition -> Recovery partition

    In my case, I have it ordered like that:

    Start partition -> EFI system partition -> Recovery partition

    Is it important for these patches that the Recovery partition is directly next to the Start partition?

    After a long battle and search for a answer finally the update installation works. The solution always was rezize the recovery partition. But after make the thask several times whithout success and trayed in a lot of different pcs and notebooks, the problem was that windows is very tricky with the recovery partition, and afther resize the partition sometimes disable the recovery function and the famouse KB5034441 does't work and fail. The solution was resize the partition from a usb boot, several times I try from diskpart and Minitool Partition, but something doesn't like a Windows and disabled the recovery function. I have a boot usb with ventoy (https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html), the most easy way to make a booteable pendrive that have many ISOs. Whith this tool I made the milagrous and resize the partition without any Windows complain. It's sad that we have to do so many IT things for a update that suppose must works flawless and transparent for any users withoun our intervention. The main problem is that a installation from 0 in a 240GB SSD (the most common size) make a windows recovery partition with insuficient space for the KB5034441 update. And the iso of windows 10 that I used is maded by media creator in february 2024.

    Yes... It help some... It don't help other.. It's very mixed. No solution yet, as I see if ever Microsoft sends another update. They won't pull it. Perhaps, they have given up Windows 10...
