Thank you so much Microsoft as you have started the New Year off with bang with this update failure below on the first patch Tuesday of the year:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x8024200B: 2024-01 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034441).
Tried multiple times to install this brick but no luck on my OMEN desktop and my wife's Envy laptop. So now what Microsoft?

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.
No problem, I do understand the frustration with update issues such as this. Often this is just an automatic fix using the troubleshooter though. If you get a chance it might be worth trying.
I tried that at the beginning and nothing. This is a MS problem and MS needs to take care of it. No amount of update trouble shooting will get this installed and as far as I am concerned it can sit in my updates with RETRY. Thanks again for the help.

I am receiving error 0x80070643 (KB5034441) and 0x80073701 (KB5034122)
Two other minor updates successfully installed besides these two major ones.
I've attempted a fix with the troubleshooter and it did nothing.
Same. It seems like everyone is having this problem. And not everyone is technical enough to use command line to manually fix this known issue.
Now it seems we are having to do MS work for them when this should have been programed in the update to begin with. You never know what those commands will do to your computer. I do not feel comfortable doing it since MS cannot even put the fix in their update.

Elise and all MS developers,
Update KB5034441 22H2 64bit Error 0x80070643
This is a monumental MS problem. Very wide spread. MS tries to make this our problem when in fact they messed up by distributing a faulty update to us. After running all trouble shooting steps to resolve the issue and checking the required service to be running Windows update won't swallow the poison pill. I did notice there seemed to be two 22H2 updates this morning not sure if they were updating the same areas in the OS. All updates installed successfully accept this one. I believe that, unfortunately, we should all sit back and chill while MS works this out. The ball is in their court and hopefully they are making this a top priority. I hate to think that this was a heinous attack on their part because nobody wants to make the move to Windows 11 and they are forcing the issue. My computer runs fine without this update. I hope others are in the same position.
