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.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Micro$oft is playing a dangerous game. How many of the gazillion Windows computer users are willing and able to successfully use their crackbrained workaround? Personally, I have no interest in goofing around with my partitions to solve a problem that shouldn't need fixing. My computers do just fine without this goofball update.
M$ needs to get rid of this update unless and until it works properly. They want absolute control of our computers. Now they want control of our time and effort too?
I have Linux Mint on all but one PC in my arsenal.
It seems I'll have to ditch MS altogether. What a load of bollocks MS has become.
I am replying to this post because I see no way to post my own original ... i.e., my own original grief and ANGER at MS for this. I worked in IT since early 1970s (mainframes thru mins thru micros, etc.). I am retired and just want the darn things to work. I stuck with MS even though Apple users argued how easy their systems were and that they "just worked." I am retired and "just want my desktop Windows 10 and laptop Win 10 to work!" My PCs are old and will not load Win 11, but so what! Win 10 and my hardware work for my uses (no gaming, video editing, etc.)). Is this actually the beginning of MS efforts to FORCE us to move to Win 11 ... and for the benefit of the manufacturers to get us to update our systems since Win 11 will not run on our "antique" systems. If so, the hell with MS and PCs. I'll look at Apple systems ... or Lynix ... or Chromebooks or something! My wife got a new iPad and we have Apple phones ... they just work. Not an Apple advertisement at all. I like using Windows and MS apps, but this has left me frustrated over many attempts and ANGRY. I realize developer teams move on to the next and greatest, leaving the grunt work to maintenance teams ... but this is ridiculous.
I have resized the partition to 2.3GB and the update still fails.
Guys I read all the answers to that forum
And most of you have said partition does not work
I am not savvy enough to play with that
I just want to know when and if Microsoft are going to fix that bugg
Is anyone from Microsoft on here to answer
please reassure me they are taking feedback seriously
When this is going to be solved
