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 am running an Azure Windows virtual desktop and having this issue for months. @Microsoft, when is this going to be fixed? This is a Jan patch and it is almost May without any resolution.

    2024-01 Security Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems (KB5034440)

    Install error - 0x80070643

    And this update doesn't work for me either.

    2024-04 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 for x64-based Systems (KB5036894)

    Install error - 0x80073701

    Please, please, please respond and/or fix the patch. I think we all have work to do and shouldn't be spending engineering hours trying to patch my Microsoft managed workstation.

    Thank you in advance for you prompt response.

    Just to be clear: It is the Operating System Partition that you need to shrink, NOT the Recovery Partition. This makes room on the Operating System Disk (Usually Disk 0) to increase the size of the new, larger Recovery Partition. This is critical and is something that is not so clear in KB5028977. This has been a place where mistakes are made with the process of increasing the size of your Recovery Partition. KB5028997 is a good place to start, with good advice to follow.

    My suggested changes would be to change / edit / insert 1024MB in the Shrink Desired command from Diskpart. This will result in a final Recovery Partition size of 1000MB. So the Command to substitute is: shrink desired=1024 minimum=1024

    Read through the other post comments on issues with the location of the Recovery Folders and Files that need to be in your Recovery Partition, and how to get them there. If you do not get these files in place, and use of the reagentc command properly, your efforts to create the larger Recovery Partition will not be successful, and the files will not be where they are needed to complete the update.

    If you are still not sure how to get this done right, watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlNtLcFqfOo

    If you still are not sure how to get this done, ask for some help from someone who is a Computer Tech Head.
