I have exactly the same problem as this (reported earlier this year), but with the new KB5048239 update. I get the 0x80070643 error when it tries to install. Retried several times, but same issue. I'm pretty sure this is the same problem that I had back in January, too. All security updates have worked fine since then, till now. At that time I was told that this was a general problem with the update and a fix was being made by Microsoft. I did wait and eventually that previous update went away. Now here we are again...
Hello,
The 2024-01 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034441) will not install on my Windows 10 laptop computer.
I get the following message 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) Retry
When I click on Retry it says its Installing-0% for a few minutes then Installed-100% and then I get Download Error (0x80070643) 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) Retry
Windows Update Troubleshooter could not fix this problem.
I'm not sure what to do, please help.
Thank you

I have no problem inserting an image. I see:
Above, the last icon (on the right) is a "grid" ("create a table").
Click the icon immediately to the left ("moon over rocky mountain") to insert an image, such as your screen-shot.
What error-message do you get when you try?
The problem is you need to disable WindowsRE while updating.
TODO:
open Powersheel in Admin mode.
type: reagentc /disable
Open \windows\system32\recovery\ folder
del *.xml files
now you run windows update.
then restart PC.
open Powersheel in Admin mode.
type: reagentc /enable
problem diappears.
cela doesn't work i can't insert a screen capture why??
What worked for me was to puirchase a brand-new, larger, faster, in-warranty, disk-drive, and use the Macrium Reflect (commercial) software to "clone" from my antique disk-drive onto the new disk-drive.
The software can be used to "shrink" or "expand" each partition, during the copying, namely to enlarge the WinRE partition.
Then, physically detach the old disk-drive, boot from the new disk-drive, and let Windows Update successfully apply the update.
Label and keep the old disk-drive for "disaster recovery".
Done, although I wish that this path was not necessary.
I am glad that this worked for you, however some of us are not having any luck using the instructions given earlier and retrying the install several times - both with and without re-starting and/or powering down the computer. This continues to be exactly the same problem seen earlier this year with the WINRE environment. I don't know why MSoft can't get this update right, but they've proven that they can't at least twice. The suggestion below about ditching MS stock is a little over the top, but it seems like a real possibility if this keeps up and Windows users can't rely on clean updates. Inconsistency when updating any OS leaves a very troubling question in your mind if you continue to see that they can't get it right...
