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 is a real nuisance, I nearly got to the stage of resetting my computer, thinking a piece of malware was stopping my security updates.

    There is a tool (wushowhide) that will enable you to hide a specific update (this problematic one is kb5034441)

    Go see Where do I find wushowhide? found it - Microsoft Community

    Do as it says in this article and this update will be hidden from Windows Update (it can easily be unhidden in due course using this same tool)

    I used this tool and was then once again able to download and install updates (exluding this errant update)

    It's about time MIcrosoft fixed this, it's been a number of weeks now
