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.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Did you return Recovery Environment back to RE partition after the update applied? Did it fit? I guess it is the
reagentc /setreimage /path ...
we need to use for this after assigning a drive letter to the volume on the recovery partition. Why Microsoft did not use this technique to apply the update initially nor suggested this as a workaround?
This Worked for me, and was much clearer than the MS articles. I was initially hesitant to delete the partition but ultimate this worked and the update went through in under 2 minutes.
Thanks!
Once updated, the recovery environment can be moved back to the recovery partition.
This configuration may sort the update KB5034441 issue but decreases reliability. The reason of RE being put in a separate partition is that you would be able to get into RE even in a case of problems with bootable partition.
...and it ultimately did, thank you!
The best part is if you feel like it, you may now create a recovery partition in the original spot and move the updated recovery environment there. :)
