Security Update for Windows 10, 2024-11, KB5048239 getting error 0x80070643 when installing

Do you have a Windows 11 "host", with Hyper-V having a Windows 10 "guest" operating system?

> I also have two recovery partitions one is 450mb and the other is 789mb which is the active one and is at the end of the disk after my C:

The early releases (in 2015) located the "Recovery" partition at the start of the disk-drive. That explains the 450 MB partition.

When I use the "reagentc /info" command, I see:

**Recovery Environment:** 

*\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition2\Recovery*

Harddisk "zero" is my computer's first disk-drive,

while "partition2" is the 3rd partition on my disk-drive.

Do you see "partition1" in the output on your computer, or "partition5 ? If the former, then that partition is too small for the update to be applied. If the latter, then the 789 MB might be too small.

Do not believe that "0% used" tag for your "partition 5".

Unfortunately, the "hidden" files/folders are not counted, when giving that "0%" result. Sigh.

You must have installed Windows 11 a LONG time ago, to have that partition at the start of your disk-drive.

There do exist free utilities that will "shrink" your "C:" partition by some amount, e.g., 1000 MB, and then to "expand" your 5th partition by that amount, namely 1000 MB plus the 790 MB.

Then, retry the Microsoft update.

I also have the dreaded C: 100% disk utilization on this guest.

Since you seem to be using Hyper-V, are you measuring the utilization on the "host" operating system, or are you measuring the (virtual) disk utilization on the "guest" ?

Note that restarting Windows (10 or 11) after a Windows Update may trigger:

• a virus-scan
• disk-drive optimization ("defragmenting")
• updating the Windows Search "cache" after noticing new/changed files

Any of these will result in a short-term "100%" condition.

ok looks like now that there is a message I can upload images???

I've looked through this thread and tried I think almost every idea but still fails. On this end this is a W10 Hyper-V guest.

For some reason i can not upload any images here it fails to upload :-(

I also have two recovery partitions one is 450mb and the other is 789mb which is the active one and is at the end of the disk after my C:

I also have the dreaded C: 100% disk utilization on this guest.

I'm almost at wits end with the same issues seeming to keep cropping up.

You make a lot of good points, with one exception: ad-heavy Windows 11.

My notebook computer runs Windows 11, and it is not "ad-heavy" for me. Certainly, defaulting to opening Microsoft Bing's "home-page" when launching Microsoft Edge is showing many small windows. Changing my web-browser's home-page to anything works for me.

Also, defaulting to the Bing search-engine, and the Google search-engine, does inject many ads. Switching to a site like www.DuckDuckGo.com  works for me.

Windows has "trouble-shooter" apps.

Run the trouble-shooter app for "Windows Update" issues, and then restart your computer, and try again.
