* * Mod note on 1/12/24. * * Please see: https://www.yourwindowsguide.com/2024/01/fix-error-0x80070643-for-windows-10-kb5034441-update.html The latest update downloads and then fails to install. OS Build # 19045.3930. Update Troubleshoot tool repair but it does not help. MS Windows Update Catalog does not have the update. Other updates all went through without any trouble. This is a brand new update. Is this a known issue? Is there a resolution specific to this update? (Please do not copy and paste standard procedure)

I have attempted the same 'corrections' they listed; none worked, and this has happened on three separate Windows 10 devices family and relatives own: I'll wait until the next security update, MSN needs to make sure their stuff will work, not force frustrations on the users.

This is my own personal report. If it helps, or inspires other ideas, then great. If not, then sorry, move on to something else. Apparently the old 451 MB recovery partition is not quite enough to update WinRE. Instead of running through the nonsense of using the convoluted command-line to resize the recovery partition, I used a 3rd Party Partition Manager application "EaseUS Easy Partition Manager 16.5". I'm sure other applications will do quite nicely, but this was my choice. It has a pleasant GUI, and it fixes the issue fast. My resizing procedure involved shrinking a data partition that was consecutive to the recovery partition. Using the newly unallocated space I took from my data partition, I expanded the recovery partition to 1 GB. This can all be done in just a few clicks of a mouse, or a few taps of a screen, then a reboot. This makes it quite roomy for WinRE and I'm sure the recovery partition loves it's new home. The Update installed successfully after resizing the recovery partition. The End. You're Welcome.

I had a handful of updates and the only one that won't work is: 2024-01 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034441) keeps failing to update. 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)

I did this procedure but it resulted in an unformatted 250MB partition, and did not add to the Recovery partition size as desired. My partiton order is not standard I guess, my C drive is part 2 and EFI is part 3, and Recovery part 4.. so maybe thats why.

This kb5034441 update is so obviously untested. Like you're going to resize the recovery partition to get it to work...ffs microsoft get you're house in order.
