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.

    From what I can see it has no effect on the day to day running of the operating system.

    Would this affect my systems camera? I cannot get it to work. It stopped working. My update won't work. I ran many troubleshooting tasks, run cmd, and more, and then reset my entire computer and still have the same issues.

    Hi John N,

    This issue with going to Apple is you're leaving one bad actor for another, with regards to the desktop environment. If you switch to Linux Mint Mate, you can utilise your existing machines and run a brand new, up to date OS that isn't trying to run roughshod over you. You can burn a live Mint usb and test drive it without even installing it. You can also use it to copy out anything on your windows partition to an external drive.

    linuxmint.com. 👍😉

    Fixed for me, but my situation seems not like what many others are facing. My fix generally followed #4 from an old answer given at https://superuser.com/questions/1514856/windows-10-lacks-partitions-and-winre-options/1514869#1514869

    I did not--and would not--follow any of the elaborate disk space reallocation "advice" from Microsoft.

    In my case, with a 2016 HP Envy Windows 10 machine, the (Run as Administrator) command

    ReAgentC /info

    showed that Windows RE status was already "Disabled," and the machine had neither a "Windows RE location" nor a "Recovery image location." This despite that Disk Management (C:\Windows\System32\diskmgmt.msc) showed that the machine had multiple recovery locations, including a 28 GB Recovery disk mapped with a drive letter (D). The command

    ReAgentC /enable

    would not work, therefore. So, I had to tell WinRE the path to my Recovery location. Here's how:

    With WinRE still disabled, I ran the command

    ReAgentC /SetREimage /Path "(full path to Recovery location)"

    In my case, my Recovery was at D:\Recovery\WindowsRE, so my command was

                 ReAgentC /SetREimage /Path "D:\Recovery\WindowsRE" 
    

    including the quotes.

    Previously, I had to create the \WindowsRE subdirectory, which was not already existing. I located the hidden file, WinRE.wim, and placed it in D:\Recovery\WindowsRE. The presence of the WinRE.wim file in the *...\Recovery\WindowsRE (the path to the RE image) is necessary.

    After this, the command

    ReAgentC /enable

    worked. Last, input the command

    exit

    to close the command prompt.

    Upon rebooting, Windows update KB5034441 went through with no more problems.

    I realize that my fix will only work if you have a "large enough" location to designate as your Recovery location. How large is enough, I don't know.
