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.

    I have tried so many things to fix this error, all of those in KB5028997. One thing I noted was after creating two larger WinRE Partitions and an Unallocated Partition (all three over 1000MB) the update did proceed further than ever before. It downloaded the update and tried to install it. The update failed with the same error after about 5 minutes. Some things about this Win 10 machine: It is UEFI (now) and was updated from MBR. It really has no Recovery files in the Partition, but it does have a Micron SSD, I did turn off Overprovisioning and Momentum Cash (Partition) - but this made no difference. This PC will not complete a Recovery Drive and has an error of being unable to find needed files. It could be related to the failure. I am done with this update, I am not going to do any additional OS Drive modifications - don't want to lose all my programs and need to do a fresh Win10 install. There must be thousands (perhaps millions) of Win 10 PCs that have this issue. I Hope MS does something to fix it, but I am not woried. Have a Win 11 PC that is doing fine.

    What is the best way to get a message on this issue to MS support?

    Sorry I am not playing around with that ****. MS OS set up my partition, if it is a problem need to provide an update with a work around.

    FIX IS HERE --- > KB5028997: Instructions to manually resize your partition to install the WinRE update - Microsoft Support

    This could be failing because your Windows RE partition needs 250mb extra space.

    Follow the instructions linked above. Worked for me.

    And it is not free - I had to pay for my 30 day license.

    Why is that? :D
