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.

    Thanks for the info, but i'd rather not step thru this process. It's simply too risky. MS needs to fix this problem or do away with this silly update.

    Looking at @lewcarver's post made me look at the partitions on this machine which will not install the update and where I need to be careful to not zap everything while shunting partitions around, especially with some of the warnings over disk management on SSDs. This 'investigation' revealed an 'interesting' results ... 3 healthy recovery partitions, one of 10.634GB and all unused/100% free! Maybe the unexplained multiple recovery partitions (no idea why they might be there. Not me!) is an issue, but the idea that 'just' adding 250MB to the recovery partition is clearly laughable given there's a free partition of 10GB!

    Please stop with this (useless) FAQ. We've tried it. For over a month.

    Look at the date, bro. I've tried it. Scroll up. Still fail.
