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.

    Your right, and there is no way to bypass this update. It just has the annoying "red" exclamation point along with the "Retry" button. You can click that button a million times and nothing is going to change it from failed to success. Now I see why a lot of people don't do Windows Update. The are terrified of having their systems lock up on them.

    Let me know if you every figure out a way to resolve this annoying problem.

    It's now February 22, 2024 and this still seems to be a problem with running the update KB5034441 with Windows 10. How long do you think it will take for Microsoft to fix this problem. Reason I'm asking is because at this point whenever I select "Check For Updates" I will repeatedly get this error message which says: "Try Again Later". Is there some way to mark this KB patch number so that it won't attempt to install whenever I run "Check For Updates"? I'd hope by now Microsoft would have resolved this problem by now.

    I just tried all the tricks noted with the WinRE Partition on #6 Win 10 PC and had the same results of No change in the Error. I have had one out of six actually complete this update and I have no clue why. Lets see what MS can do to fix this. Not sure they want to fix it at all as they have Win 11 issues that take 99% of their efforts. Waiting and Wondering.
