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.

    I had the same error, read the responses in this thread and increased the size from 500 MB to 1400 MB, rebooted and the update went off without a hitch.

    This might help:

    Windows 10 KB5034441 Update Error 0x80070643 (need to manually resize partitions to fix the problem)

    And the Microsoft support article: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5028997-instructions-to-manually-resize-your-partition-to-install-the-winre-update-400faa27-9343-461c-ada9-24c8229763bf

    The support link worked for me. I resized my partition for the Recovery and ran the Windows Updates again. The update went through with no errors this time.

    I wouldn’t risk using DISKPART, instead follow the instructions in the following link to specifically exclude this update from windows updates

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/where-do-i-find-wushowhide-found-it/30a3e799-8461-4c05-b194-ade7cba4d980

    Worked perfectly on two Win10 computers. 1x GPT, 1x MBR.
