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

    Hi Melvin,

    i've done chkdsk /f/r and the sfc and dism multiple times I can try it again.

    can not add another drive except via USB all the drive bays are being used.

    Drive C: on the host is W2012R2; Drive F: is where the VMs live.

    I do have a few USB drives I could give a shot.

    Let me see if I can get more time over the weekend.

    thanks leon

    From: https://howtoedge.com/fix-update-error-0x80070050/

    What causes Update Error 0x80070050 in Windows?

    This error normally mostly occurs because of a failing hardware component or when the system files become corrupted.

    Run CHKDSK and SFC tools and check if the problem resolves. In case it still persists, this must be due to the following reasons –

    Missing DLL files

    Incorrect registry entries

    Incorrect Date & Time

    To overcome this issue, apply the workarounds in the exact order as discussed below ...

    Can you add another disk-drive (1 TB or larger) to your "host" system, and use Macrium Reflect to copy your "VM" partition onto this new disk-drive, and then update Hyper-V to (virtually) boot from this new disk? Maybe, Macrium will report "errors" when trying to clone from that one partition, and you can try its "continue anyway" option to copy 99.99% of the partition?

    I hope this helps.

    Hi Melvin,

    yeah i thought it expired no biggie on that

    I had a reply queued up and had to change tabs and came back and it wouldnt let me send it but said I had a reply open :-(

    So i did the update using the security shield and that seemed to work.

    Windows update then came up with only the one update.

    I just tried the windows update troubleshooter again and it couldnt find anything

    I am at wit's end

    Thanks leon

    Windows Server 2012 and Windows Server 2012 R2 will end on October 10, 2023.

    After this date, these products will no longer receive security updates, non-security updates, bug fixes, technical support, or online technical content updates.

    I doubt whether any operating system released by Microsoft in/before October 2013, such as this Windows Server, would use any separate "Recovery" partition.

    The output on the host from the REAGENTC command shows that the "C:\Recovery" (hidden) folder contains the "System Recovery" support.

    the guest, update runs and then after some period of time closes itself. .... neither of these install

    The first update is to the Windows Defender anti-virus software.

    If Windows Update is running correctly, the failure of the other update to install should NOT cause the update to Defender to fail.

    Can you double-click the green-coloured "shield" icon for Defender (in the System Tray at the bottom of the screen) and manually force it to try to update. Is this successful?

    Then, go back to Windows Update, and click on "Update History", to see the newest date on which KB2267602 was successfully installed, and the list of dates on which it was installed.

    Then, do a "check for updates", to see if ONE (or TWO) updates are offered.

    This might be corruption within the Windows Update app.

    There is a Microsoft "troubleshooter" for issues with Windows Update. Run it, and see if it makes any changes.
