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

    Leon, for a non-RAID disk, maybe the free software: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/diskview  will do it.

    Also, for a non-RAID disk, the Macrium Reflect software will definitely tell you about a "bad" sector, when you try to use it to "clone" the disk to an empty disk-drive. Note that the target disk needs only to be as large as the "used" size of the source disk, because it does an "intelligent" copy -- not trying to copy "free" sectors from the source.

    The Macrium software used to be free for personal use, but those days are gone, unless you download from:

    https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/macrium\_reflect\_free\_edition.html

    However, for a RAID set, the "bad" sectors may be in different locations on each of the disk-drives. So, when Macrium reports a "bad" sector, you won't know which disk-drive owns it.

    It's also possible that a "RAID-1" (mirrored) setup may return the data from the "good" sector on either disk. Similarly, a "RAID-5" (striped) may error-correct to return a "good" sector of data.

    What to avoid is "breaking" the RAID set, by physically testing each disk-drive one at a time. Connecting the disk-drive to Windows will break the set, forcing a "rebuild".

    Hopefully, booting Macrium Reflect will avoid such "breaking".

    Maybe, the best solution for a RAID-1 set would be

    1. purchase 2 new disk-drives.
    2. connect & configure these drives as a new RAID-1 set.
    3. use Macrium to "clone" from the current set onto the newly-created set.
    4. disconnect the current set.
    5. connect one of the old drives to a different computer.
    6. run "CHKDSK" with the "/R" option, to locate bad sectors and recovers readable information.

    Note that Macrium has a "continue anyway" option when it cannot read a "bad" sector. Use DISKMAP to map that sector-number to a filename.

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks

    What I need to find is something that will test the actual sectors in the RAID array and move then and mark bad. I've been trying to move via ftp the files off to a friends site and it's been running for months due to the timeouts and errors becuz if I can get all the files off safely then I will reformat the drives in that RAID.

    > Trying to find a good utility to test the RAID.

    The free version of the SPECCY app can display the S.M.A.R.T. status of a non-RAID disk-drive, and much more.

    Otherwise, the "Intel RST" utility will report the status of the RAID, e.g., "normal" or "degraded".

    Hi Melvin,

    I found this tool windows update fixer and giving it a whirl and will also look at what you suggested.

    a few quick items.

    The Hyper-V is a Dell server with 64gb ram and 8 TB disk of which 6TB is my plex raid and 2gb is Windows Server 2012 R2. I believe its SAS drives 2TB each I think. Was given this machine a few years ago from a friend/co-worker

    The guest is 200MB as that is what I defined it to be it's a virtual disk which is on the 2GB disk the server OS is as a separate drive.

    somewhere on my plex data drive i think there are hardware issues. i have the plex data drive defined on the Host machine instead of the guest. Trying to find a good utility to test the raid. Got multiple things going on driving me nuts :-)

    I'll keep you posted many thanks

    Leon
