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.

    There is a known problem with that update.

    Wait until hell freezes over???

    There has been no action on this that I can see for any weeks. This kills the updates to other apps...

    I don't want to risk following this video clip I don't want to mess up my laptop. Do you know if Microsoft are working on the error? Will it be fixed soon?

    Edit: I didn’t think it worked, because it just seemed to take a long time. I actually shrank the size by 500 instead of the 250 in the video and it solved the problem.

    I followed the instructions in this video exactly and it still didn’t work.
