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 have the same issue on two computers running Win10. As is usual, I run SFC, DISM, and CHKDSK. While SFC did correct a couple items on one computer, it did not fix this problem. The error also flagged a possible issue with the size of the recovery partition, but that feature was never enabled, and I don't believe it's required (I could be wrong). So I strongly believe the problem is at Microsoft, and I'll be keeping a watch on this thread for the next several days.

    It worked. Follow the original guide. OS does not mean recovery. Directions not clear. You shrink from the PRIMARY drive. I did 1000 instead of 250. Then proceed as normal. It just requires a bit of reading. I REPEAT, YOU DO NOT RESIZE YOUR RECOVERY. YOU TAKE THAT FROM YOUR PRIMARY.

    Once you do that, THEN you select your recovery drive and continue to follow instructions. Once done, and I mean at the end of everything(if you didn't end up there you did it wrong or didn't read) then proceed here.

    Go     to powershell, run as admin and run the entire script for your set up starting from LITERALLY, Param (

    Let it run all the way till it stops and requires a DL. Get the latest here for your rig.

    I     used the top for mine.

    Copy the file link, as in the entire line, mine was like

    Downloads\windows10.0-kb5034232-x64_ff4651e9e031bad04f7fa645dc3dee1fe1435f38.cab

    Put that into the powershell. Then it should complete on its own. Restart PC. Proceed to install update.

    You're welcome.
