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.

    Unless you use bitlocker, run wushowhide.diagcab, put this badly broken update away for the duration and be done with it.

    Bingo, because Win10 reaches end of life on 10/14/'25. So if you don't do anything stupid to screw up your system, you'll never need this so-called "update".

    This does not actually create a recovery partition. The second line reverts the id set in line one.

    You may have noticed the partition is no longer tagged recovery. Your Windows RE has been enabled on drive C due to the former recovery partition not recognized. You may run

    set id=27

    in diskpart right now and disable/enable the recovery environment one more time. This time the recovery partition will be recognized.

    I'm not sure I understand.

    The first line creates the partition and sets the type of the logical drive created as 0x27, meaning a Win RE partition. The second line then formats that logical drive and gives it a label, but that's not going to alter the drive type. The format is in effect a higher level command carried out within the bounds set by the lower level partitioning of the disk.

    I don't understand why you say the second line "reverts the id set in the first". The format can only operate on the partitioned area of the disk, while the creating of the partition and setting the partition id are part of the entire physical disk MBR

    Answering my only question ... partially ...

    I had a look in diskpart and indeed the created recovery partition was type 07, no longer 27. Using set id=27 the partition is now listed as a recovery partition:

    v previously

    I see it is now entirely empty and so while I might have a recovery partition, there seems to be nothing there to recover from and this is an elderly machine. God knows where any media would be. Maybe the next thing to look at is how to create something in the recovery partition!
