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? :/

    Dear Microsoft, shouldn't there be a button to cancel the windows update ((KB5034441) when it failed to give a proper update? Or probably cancel the entire update when error is encountered rather attempting to do a failed update? What are you doing about this error that keeps popping up when I try to do other windows update?

    Hi there,

    If you don't intend to extend the Recovery partition, for now, you may hide the update using the WUShowHide.diagcab tool from Microsoft.

    Why send updates when they don't work? Please delete this update.

    It's not a fix, they just pulled the update, presumably until they fix it. It's gone from my maim update screen on Windows 10, though is still listed as having failed under history, with a link to the article talking about the update and issue.

    OK I try everything in the book there's something on their side causing this. 

    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 mean I try everything.
