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.

    Based on some recent replies, Microsoft says that there will not be an automatic fix by them.

    Hello Jeff W5

    Hello Ognyan Karatabanov

    That's right, I reported this on the thread where the solution I recommend was explained in detail, here:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/update-kb5034441-fails-to-install/1b127728-67ce-4206-8978-b3b0e38044a8?page=46

    The automatic, easy and risk-free solution that I recommend for users who do not have great knowledge because the data given by Microsoft presents great risks is the one which consists of carrying out a "Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade":

    https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/16397-repair-install-windows-10-place-upgrade.html

    but in point 9 of the tutorial, you must check the box "Download updates, drivers and optional features".

    And once Windows update is completely up to date (automatic installation of KB5037768 released today and transition to buid 19045.4412.) Windows update will automatically download and install the KB5034441 update.

    Otherwise, if you don't use Bitlocker, simply hide this update with the Microsoft tool "Wushowhide":

    Hello Graham Axford

    If you don't use Bitlocker, you can obviously ignore this update and hide it with the "wushowhide" tool.
