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.

    No one here can speak for Microsoft or comment on what they are doing (or not doing)

    It sounds like you need to take a legal route.

    I agree with you. The Repair Install with an In-Place Upgrade is the best solution. It is the easiest way to make the changes to the Recovery Partition as it does all the needed changes during the Copy / Install process of Win 10 Operating System Repair. This is a solution that should resolve the issue with KB503441 and its Error 0x80070643 (in 99% of the cases). For those who are not familiar with Partition Management, stopping SSD cache software, Windows Recovery files, CMD Commands, and using reagentc, this is a very good solution. This is a Microsoft Fix (perhaps not directly recommended) that does work, my advice is to read through this posts many pages that relate to this fix.

    Here is your post from a month ago that is on Page 41. You can read through pages 35 to 45 to get most all your questions answered, and get the specifics on just how to do the "Repair Install with an In-Place Upgrade:

    Hello Jeff W5

    Hello Ognyan Karatabanov

    That's right, I reported this on the thread where the solution I recommend was explained in detail, here:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/update-kb5034441-fails-to-install/1b127728-67ce-4206-8978-b3b0e38044a8?page=46

    The automatic, easy and risk-free solution that I recommend for users who do not have great knowledge because the data given by Microsoft presents great risks is the one which consists of carrying out a "Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade":

    https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/16397-repair-install-windows-10-place-upgrade.html

    but in point 9 of the tutorial, you must check the box "Download updates, drivers and optional features".

    And once Windows update is completely up to date (automatic installation of KB5037768 released today and transition to buid 19045.4412.) Windows update will automatically download and install the KB5034441 update.

    OF course or force to pay £££££££ for extended Win 10 support.

    Already learning Linux and tools as this expensive laptop "WILL NOT" work under Win11 :)

    I already fixed mine by doing a Repair Install with an In-place upgrade, as was posted in a tutorial in this thread a few weeks ago.

    I was replying to the person who asked if Microsoft was going to fix the problem and they are not, according to what has been said in this thread the other week.
