PCs, I'm getting "Status: Download error - 0x80070643" with "2024-01 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034441)" in 64-bit W10 Pro. right now. I already rebooted once from other today's updates:

Couldn't MS do this to its users automatically without having to do it manually for non-technical users? :/

    Same problem here for W10, tried the workaround and didn't work before I realised it seemed to be for W11 not 10.

    Update just keeps failing again and again with no way to stop it trying to download it.

    Windows Update KB5034441 is a security update to the WinRe environment, but people are running into problems trying to get it downloaded and installed. KB5028997 tells how to resize your recovery partition so that this update can be installed, but it applies only to Windows 11 computers. I am in the same boat as John Dow 987654 and ULtraGreG. I need a workaround that applies to Windows 10 computers, if there is one.

    I have the same problem (Windows 10 Home 64bit)

    But my C:\ disk already has a recovery partition

    Partition ### Type Dim. Offset

    Partition 1 Primary 100 Mb 1024 Kb
    Partition 2 Primary 465 Gb 101 Mb
    Partition 3 Recovery 563 Mb 465 Gb

    The only difference (with respect to the Article linked above) is that mine is 563 MB "type Recovery" while the article talks about a "primary" 250 MB big.

    So, what is missing?
