Thanks. After expanding the Windows RE parition using the steps in the article you linked the update installed without an error. Windows 10 22H2 32-bit running in a Hyper-V VM with a MBR disk. BitLocker not enabled.

I repaired the OS with sfc /scannow I resized the partition (500MB to 750MB) I reset the cache (Stopped windows update service and rd /S /Q C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution) Still get the: "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)" Guess I'll wait for the net update.

I do not have bitlocker on any of my machines and still getting the error. This is entirely an issue with the install package. QA failed in their job.

These are correct steps to take and have solved other update issues for me. However, there is another necessary step to try before resorting to the in-place upgrade, and that's clearing the update cache and forcing a fresh download of failing updates.

Keep in mind, if enough people are having trouble with an update, Microsoft usually supersedes it with a working update fairly quickly (that's the case where clearing cache and redownloading seems to be most helpful).

If your device has the recovery partition before the OS partition, then instead of

shrinkdesired=250 minimum=250

run

shrinkdesired=750 minimum=750
