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.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I have zero IT experience. I just need to know if anybody thinks Microsoft will fix this, or should I dump my laptop and buy a new one? My laptop does not qualify for windows 11.
But you would think that they could provide a fix if they wanted to considering they spent a fortune on the Super Bowl commercial. Just saying...
Friends, should we stop the updates until this faulty update is fixed? Because since then, I feel that every time I update Windows, a flaw is added to my operating system
Wait until hell freezes over???
There has been no action on this that I can see for any weeks. This kills the updates to other apps...
You have to be the forums cry baby of the year and we aren’t even 2 months in yet.
Do your research… Differ that specific update so that other updates may resume. You will have to figure out how to do that on your own. Your disgusting behavior displayed here warrants zero assistance from anyone.
You can only hope that tomorrow (the second Tuesday of the month) will bring a Super Great Cumulative Update that will fix this error. I have checked over 20 Win 10 PCs of mine and friends, and none of them have been fixed by the directed actions. So, my thoughts are this is something deeper than the size of a Recovery Partition. Don't hold your breath as this could be just a taste of the end of Win 10 coming soon.
I resized my partition and it didn't work. It's good that it worked for you.
