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.

    Previously I posted a rather upset (angry) reply that MS could allow such to happen, with references to development teams vs maintenance teams. I forgot to mention the teams that are probably more important than both of those ... the testing teams, I have been involved in setting up test suites for new software development (years ago). I have also been a manager of QA. If MS says (as the HAVE stated) that they intend to continue support of Win 10 with updates for a couple years at least, they should darn well be testing these updates BEFORE releasing them to the general audience ... not just alpha and beta testers. MS should have a lab of various of these older systems (PCs) on which to try these "patches" before ramming them out to the general user community. Come on, MS, get your act together if you were not just blowing smoke about supporting our "vintage" systems! BTW, someone mentioned that MS did not read this list. I only found it by searching on the error message. I would hope that SOMEHOW MS people take notice of how frustrated its customers are ... and that they recognize that we do have options other than them

    This is still a problem as of 2/11/24. My computer does not have a recovery partition. I don't need a recovery partition since I use imaging software to backup my computer. When is Microsoft going to fix this issue?

    Very interesting. On my second machine that gave me this issue and where I didn't go through resizing the recovery partition, your post made me look again after multiple installation failures. And what do I find ...

    'You're up to date', and under the installed updates:

    You can see the multiple failures, yet...

    But going to check again, the machine is again attempting to install KB503441 ... having failed 6 times previously from the above history, and then reporting all ap to date 🤦‍♂️ Something seems very wrong. Either the machine is, or is not up to date.

    And the re-attempted update resulted in

    And the history confirms the failure...

    I'm not too concerned about this. The badly broken update is confirmed hidden. The next round of updates will install properly when I choose to get them. Sorry but I don't understand your second question,

    Is there anything wrong with this in terms of security? Isn't it too late to receive updates once a month?
