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.

    I have caught this note BEFORE I rebooted my PC to install the currently waiting updates.

    In my Windows update listing, KB5034441 is shown as "pending install".

    For the moment, I have now paused updates and I have not yet rebooted the machine.

    Can I simply delete the "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download" folder to get rid of all the pending updates and wait until MS withdraws the faulty KB5034441 update from the update catalogue?

    I assume that when I then reboot the machine, It will not find the relevant update files and cannot install them.

    After I paused updates for a week and the list of available updates disappeared.

    When I then scanned again for 'new updates' (resume updates), the list reappeared with the most recent updates and patches,

    For a brief moment there is an indication that the system tries to install the faulty patch but then indicates an error for downloading the KB5034441 patch which appears to be no longer available. (Status: Download error 0x80070643)

    Looks like MS have pulled the update (at least in part).

    Any comment?

    I am in a middle of a campaign so I do NOT have time to mess with partitions, I've installed clean on 500 gb SSD. I do NOT risk all my work and I do NOT have time to backup entire machine while trying to to my job which is not messing all my PC because Microsoft wants it. I will jus leave it as it is. Maybe discontinuing all your updates for max period allowed will help. Thanks for nothing

    I absolutely agree.They force things that need to be tested into a update without your permission.Like he said if i wanted to screw my pc up being a tester for malfunctioning stuff i would have been in the insider program.I learned a hard lesson on Xbox a decade ago being a insider member its updates destroyed my brand new xbox and Microsoft didnt help or pay for the next one.
