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.

    This Method WORKS. If you want to get your PC (non-BitLocker) fixed quickly and right, Just Do It. Stop complaining and follow the directions. There is no excuse. If you don't try, then don't complain - it is just like voting. Thanks Jeff W5. I have confirmed this method on three PCs, two were GPT and one MBR with NO loss of data or Programs (I did backup first). It seems where these problem PCs get into trouble is when they are upgraded with an SSD or replacement drive. The process does not transfer the Recovery Partition and the Recovery is lost for good. This Jeff W5 method COMPLETELY fixes this and gives you a WORKING Recovery Partition.

    The continues failure of Win 10 update with (0x80070643) error was too annoying and I was a bit skeptical about the solutions to edit the partition size manually through command prompt. This method is safe and using the recovery disk. I created a recovery disk from the same PC using win media creation tool and urn the update. It did took some indeed, but was easy.

    thank you for the step by step procedure.

    I don't know why you're rude about this. Scolding people for not doing what you did what worked for you when many people here clearly have said they did try the suggestions and nothing worked. Others such as me didn't do anything afraid we might destroy our computers. This is a forum where the flow of information happens without having to listen to rude people such as you. None of us are complaining about this update that should have been fixed or uninstalled by Microsoft over 7 months ago. You're the one complaining.
