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.

I think the problem is that Windows can't be updated to 11 if this error is present. That's how I discovered it.
One would believe that MS should and would want to fix this to allow people with limited time/willingness to be able to upgrade. However, it appears to be too difficult.
Andrew, I can't speak to that as my system is not capable of supporting Windows 11 due to the security requirements.
I Can't Update.
Download error - 0x80070643 has been on my PC for months now. I don't want to mess about with resizing as I cannot afford to break this PC. I've paid for a product from Microsoft, is there any plan for a fix please?
I am fully on your side ! ... and btw. even an increase in size IS NOT HELP !
I got two PCs (64bit) A and B with both identical boot file size; 3x the required min. size !
On A (Win10pro / i7-3770) the issue has suddenly been resolved within an further autom. Win-update within the first week.
On B (Win10home / XEON-3350) the issue is permanent and could NOT be resolved by changing size ! Delete and terminate Win-Restore file can help. But as soon as you recreate Win-Restore-files, for any of your discs (go to Settings -> System -> About > Advanced System Settings -> System Protection) the issue comes back ...
remains sticky only with WIN-10-home edition, solved itself on WIN-10-PRO edition.
