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.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Jim, just wondering, what part didn't work? Were you able to resize your recovery partition? What size is it now? Is it now enabled or disabled? There may be a couple more tweaks you can try which I did (documented in the link below), but I don't know for sure whether they played a role or not in my fix... https://www.northshore-it.com/tips/how-tos/manually-resize-your-recovery-partition/
Hi all!
I have this damn update downloaded but not installed. I understand that it is now somewhere in some downloads section until it is installed, right?
(I have Win10 Home, I understand that I do not have BitLocker in the OS and this update is still useless for me).
Is there a way using standard Windows tools to remove the archive or update installer from my computer?
(by the way, on my second computer, where the Pro version OS was installed, this update also arrived and an error occurred. I tried to follow the instructions for expanding the partition. As a result, I destroyed everything that was on the C drive and now I have to on the second computer install the OS again. Microsoft will not return my work and data to me. Microsoft, you have set me up once again! After installing the fix for this problem, I made a firm decision to make every effort to ensure that there are no more updates on my main computer.)
That other error is hidden in system logs.
If you check your recovery partition size and it's less than 750 MB AND you're getting error 0x80070643 when you try to install this update, that IS the cause.
I am getting the error on update KB5034441; "There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help (0x80070643). Status: Download Error 0x80070643
The only answers I have found here are for the errors:
WinRE needs to have a bigger (1gb) partition, but I am not getting the error it says you will receive if the partition needs to be expanded.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A very large number of users are reporting a failure in downloading this update (KB5034441). There are suggestions to increase the size of the recovery partition to allow the update to succeed. This is a complicated and possibly risky procedure and many are saying it does not work. Microsoft will most likely remove the update or apply a fix.
Hey GW 2003,
This may be "a complicated and possibly risky procedure" but it did work for me.
