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 agree with the comments that these actions are going to fail. You are trying to shrink the Recovery Partition when you should be shrinking your main OS Partition by 250MB (really should be at least 1024 MB).

    Some advice, you should go back through all the pages of this post and read about how to do this process properly. Also, these directions are for a GPT drive, hope this is what you have. Delete your previous attempts, make sure you are deleting the right partition first. I have never had any success with the quick format command. Just use the Format command. If you are not familiar with working in Diskpart and the Command Line commands, I would suggest you don't do this. The YouTube video is pretty good, need to just slow down, read, and understand what is being done.

    It is not "sure to fail," it worked for me and it worked for a great many who commented on the youtube video. Your instructions also failed, so your point is?

    You do not need to delete the information in the existing recovery partition - I increased the size and deleted the files but it didn't work. Your instructions, although helpful, did not work in my situation. I did additional research and what I posted worked. No need for third party partition software, no need to resort to disk manager, no need to temporarily unhide the recovery partition and assign a drive name.

    It actually expands the partition, did you watch the youtube video or read the microsoft workaround page? Methinks you have not.

    Hi Qstik. My replies are getting jammed. Sorry for a delay with response. You got impressive and curious storage setup. Over-provisioning space is why the standard Microsoft’s resize script with shrink operation did not work for you. AFAIK over-provisioning soace does not have to be specifically unpartitioned but just not in use.

    I suggest to move RE into separate recovery partition as you will be able to use it even in a case of issues with C: drive. Just use option size= with create partition primary to create it because by default it will use all space unpartitioned.

    And I would allocate free space to system partition as it is overkill and all modern SSDs does over-provisioning in firmware.
