Others' (https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/192l9kj/cumulative_updates_january_9th_2024/kh32u6f/) and my updated 64-bit W10 Pro. 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? :/

    Thank you. I struggled with running the script (method two), but I think I finally got it. I just have one question. As I read it, the portion of the article that starts with "With that said..." is for method one only. Because I used method two, I don't have to run the "With that said..." portion. Is that how you read it?

    How did you run it, did you just copy all of the text and paste it into Command Prompt rather than Powershell? When I use Command Prompt it just closes it down and does nothing.

    Good News Guys!

    As if this afternoon. Microsoft has simply removed the Update in question. It no longer appears in my Update list even if I check for updates. Update and error messages are simply gone. So I'm guessing they withdrew it and are working on it in the back rooms.

    For all those of you who tampered with your partition limits. Well, it might have fixed your computer updates for now. But who knows down the road what it may bring.

    Ignore it. Microsoft is probably working on fixing it and this update is useless for most people.
