I got the KB5034122 finally to update, but had to do the KB5033733 and KB5034275 first. It did take multiple attempts.
2024-01 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034441) error (0x80070643) a known issue?

I keep trying install this update yet it keeps failing. I already ran troubleshooter said it resolved the issue but the error persists. I also disabled my antivirus and tried again still did not work And I keep getting error (0x80070643) Is this a known issue? All the other updates installed fine without issue.

Almost all replies I've gotten from Microsoft-affiliated people or community figureheads are not helpful, and they repeat the same stuff to multiple people, and most of the time it doesn't work. The worst-case scenario is that Microsoft doesn't care and lets this update stick with us and forces us to eventually tamper with our partitions, risking many people unintentionally harming their computers. I genuinely never messed with partitions either, and I don't want to. I have even been told by friends and a couple tech channels to just straight up ignore the partition suggestion and wait to see if Microsoft even intervenes.
Surely Microsoft has to step in, right? probably not. As I had a discussion with a few support employees over twitter, most suggested doing an "in-place repair" or something and one straight up said that there are "no issues with windows update."
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people complaining about this issue right now, and Microsoft should've stepped in yesterday or hours before, but I am not sure how long patches or update fixes take to make.
The two updates that are failing me are the following:
KB5034122 (culminative update): 0x80073701 error
KB5034441 (security update, main culprit): 0x80070643 error
The other minor updates were installed without issue.
There's a small riot going on Windows 10 Reddit and also here in the forums. By now, Microsoft should've definitely done something, and those tech-focused news outlets should be covering this. I can only find a few covering it, but they're based in Japan.
