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.

    Microsoft could care less about us as users, and there will be no fix forthcoming in my opinion.

    I have the skills and ability to fix the issue myself, but SHOULDN'T HAVE TO.

    This will erase everything you have, and you will start over with a fresh Win 10. Dangerous solution. Not even sure if this will resolve the error. I would recommend waiting till a solution is presented by Microsoft. I have not had any success increasing the size of the Windows RE Partition on any machine.

    I have this same error. It was advised to do the update to stop or reduce the BSODs. I have had 4 this morning.

    I have increased my recovery partition using minitool. Still get not able to update.

    I noticed I had two recovery partitions. Apparently Microsoft will auto create a new partition if the old one is not big enough. However, it has not done it for this error.

    I merged the two recovery partitions as multiple notes said this can be done.

    Still have update error.

    I have tried cleanmgr but it did not run as expected from the google notes. I was led to believe I could select the recovery partition to clean, but instead in gives my a list of file types that can be cleaned. Seems like I am in the wrong parking lot with this command.

    Nevertheless, still get look at 0x80070643
