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.

2024-02-08T23:26:48+00:00 I had this on one machine. It had had an HDD replacement some time back and then the old image copied back onto the new larger disk. This meant there was lots of free space and so I followed the MS instructions and removed (from memory) a 250Mb recovery partition and added 1Gb. The update did then run ... but only used a fraction of the space ... meaning there was WAY more space than necessary on the original partition. Further, the new recovery partition now shows in Win Explorer rather than being hidden. So yes it worked, but no, it seems entirely unnecessary as the extra space granted wasn't necessary.
Now have this on another machine. This doesn't have a lot of unallocated space and so it will require shrinking a live partition to repeat what I did before. Not sure I really want to go playing with that. Seems there's a problem with the update in demanding space it then doesn't use.
