Windows update (KB5034441) Error (0x80070643)

This has to work.

...and it ultimately did, thank you!

I needed to do a couple of other things to get there, so just going to fill in a few blanks in case it helps.

No 3rd party software just working with Windows 10:

1. Run Command Prompt as Administrator
2. Disable Windows RE.

type/paste:   reagentc /disable

3. Optional: If you need a bit of a guide and further reassurance before jumping to the next command, you can use Disk Management to verify what/where your Recovery Partition is and leave it up. Search "Disk Management" (create and format hard disk partitions found in the control panel)

*You can't delete the partition by using Disk Management. So...

4. Return to Command Prompt (as Admin) type: DISKPART
5. Type: list disk
6. Using Disk Management as a guide, compare it to the list in your command prompt and confirm your Disk number (most likely Disk 0)
7. Type: select disk 0 (or pertaining disk with the partition on it)
8. Type: list part
9. Identify the Recovery partition number (most likely Partition 4)
10. Type; select part 4 (or pertaining recovery partition)
11. Type: delete part override

Now it's deleted and you need to re-enable Windows RE.

12. Open a fresh Command Prompt (Admin) or return to default command line and type: reagentc /enable
13. Try the update, worked for me.

Thank you Volume Z

please helpsetup recovery

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.

please help

The best part is if you feel like it, you may now create a recovery partition in the original spot and move the updated recovery environment there. :)

This configuration may sort the update KB5034441 issue but decreases reliability. The reason of RE being put in a separate partition is that you would be able to get into RE even in a case of problems with bootable partition.
