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.

    @paul0336, do you (or anyone else) understand the multiple recovery partitions? Your disk shows two, both of 1.035GB. My disk shows three. Why 3?! And sizes of 0.812GB, 10.62GB and 1.14GB. The machine has a total of over 12.5GB devoted to recovery partitions and the two at 10.62 and 1.14GB are well past the 1.035 size you set.

    I have solved this update on one machine, but before I go messing with things on this one it would be good to properly understand how 3 partitions came to be created and why so much space. 10.6GB seems absurd. To be clear, I have not messed with the disk partitions since the machine was delivered from Dell.

    Have just checked a second identical Dell XPS we have. Difference. This machine has 1TB SSD, the other 500GB. The 3x recovery partitions are near identical:

    • 3 recovery partitions? Yes
    • Sizes
      • First (partition 4) 812MB - Yes. Identical
      • Second (partition 5) 10.62GB on 1TB machine, 10.58GM on 500GB machine, near identical
      • Third (partition 6) 1.14GB on both machines
    • Both are unable to install KB5034441

    This recovery partition layout is clearly part of the machine build by Dell. Using reagentc /info I see that partition 4 is the active WindowsRE partition, i.e. the 812MB partition. Maybe this is the issue ... sub 1GB ... but is also means there are 12GB allocation but unused!

    Windows RE status:         Enabled  
Windows RE location:       \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition4\Recovery\WindowsRE

    Maybe I need a tool to delete partitions 5 and 6 and reclaim 12GB disk, and move (as opposed to delete/create) partition 4 to the end of the disk (not sure this is possible) and give the 12GB back to the C: disk?

    Hi All,

    Using NIUBI partition mover to resize the recovery partition to 1035 MB worked a treat for me. MY recover portions are after the OS portion.

    Hope that helps
