I already rebooted once from other today's updates: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/january-9-2024-kb5034275-cumulative-update-for-net-framework-3-5-4-8-and-4-8-1-for-windows-10-version-22h2-6c9a603c-f0a1-4b32-b7fa-a1c6337523f1 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/january-9-2024-kb5034122-os-builds-19044-3930-and-19045-3930-7656c6a4-0b06-4424-86a9-d0719f4ac252 I read https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5034441-windows-recovery-environment-update-for-windows-10-version-21h2-and-22h2-january-9-2024-62c04204-aaa5-4fee-a02a-2fdea17075a8 's known issue about small WinRE partition with a https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5028997-instructions-to-manually-resize-your-partition-to-install-the-winre-update-400faa27-9343-461c-ada9-24c8229763bf link. Couldn't MS do this to its users automatically without having to do it manually for non-technical users? :/

A very large number of users are reporting a failure in downloading this update (KB5034441). There are suggestions to increase the size of the recovery partition to allow the update to succeed. This is a complicated and possibly risky procedure and many are saying it does not work. Microsoft will most likely remove the update or apply a fix.

We have 6 windows 10 laptops in the house. The only 2 this installs on are the two laptops that do not qualify for Windows 11. The cynic in me does wonder if this if this is relevant.... Same error code 0x8007643. Reboot's & re-attempts to install don't help. No integrity violations on a SFC (before & after re-attempts). As a side note (in response tot the above post) - all 6 of the laptops are running 22H2, so it is an issue for up-to-date win 10 machines too).

This is so typical of Microshaft to regard us as their testers and do inadequate testing before a release. It's a regression script, so it's all automatic, before someone talks about the work hours required. And, as usual, it's a nasty catch 22. You create recovery data...but handling the recovery data is the problem. And- accidentally on purpose- penalize those that won't accept the latest POS. People are reluctant to switch from 10 because it's one of the few releases that pretty much works. More of these "errors" will no doubt continue to happen the older the release gets. I have Win10 on a laptop that came with it and it's useful to have a machine for the things that are only written for Windoze. My main system is Ubuntu Jammy Jellyfish and, I can tell you, you would never see this kind of problem with it. That's why MS has become the AOL of OS's. I don't fear hell; I worked over two decades as an MCSE. I wrote Calculator, Notepad and Paintbrush for Win1.1 and it has always been this way with them. The day they support dual booting with Linux I will change my tune. And give up FAT, SMTP and the other inefficient dinosaurs that never seem to die.

Hey Ant Dude I made a reply in my post https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/kb5034441-will-not-install/56645a57-38a1-43fc-9aa6-82b1dad4a8d2 about this to come and take a look at your post also. I tried doing those commands and it got very murky for me and I had to back out of it. I have a SDD and a hard disk. I am not going to do this with those kind of instructions especially when it comes to boot config. Don
