Same here, unfortunately. I've read that the best course is to pause updates until a solution comes out.
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.

Just starting to look after running updates on four. Thanks for that info that finishes my early morning research on this problem. Business as usual for me. I don't allow automatic updates. Now pausing updates on all computers for another month or so. Maybe the wizards will have it sorted by then.

2024-01-29T21:51:19+00:00 I have no idea. I restored my entire hard drive (including the restore and boot partition) from two days before I had this issue. I disabled automatic updates. Everything is working fine for now. I put my automatic update on pause. In theory they said they are working on this. I don't know. Originally I had this error and they said to keep trying every couple of days. I am not doing to do that now. The pause is set to expire on 2/9/2024 so I hope they fix it before then. I am still hoping the updates do not break my computer again.
