Windows 10 22h2 security update [KB5034441] fails to install with code: 0x80070643 problem was solved for me with reinstallation of Windows 10 using the Media Creation tool . Took about 5 hours . But the security update that has been giving everyone problems downloaded on the second try . I have , over the last 2 days , been checking for updates to see if it really worked and it appears in the control panel as downloaded . I want to thank that guy who suggested that fix . I did not do a clean install . I kept my files and apps
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
When Windows RE is disabled, it may mean the image file is missing. Are you sure the update should settle for that? :)
This update is a prompt to fix your recovery environment in case it's broken. Otherwise an entire winre.wim file would have to be included.
I have tried to enable WinRE, but I get an error stating that it can’t be enabled on a bitlocked drive.
In an attempt to resolve the update issue, I deleted the old WinRE partition, created a new partition, then using Powershell attempted to enable WinRE via the Powershell command line.
I'm still having that same issue for months. Thankfully other updates download and install just fine but it's still annoying to keep seeing that pesky update on my window and getting that error. Microsoft PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE either patch it, remove it if we no longer need it, or at the very very least give us easy to follow updates for people who don't have the knowledge or are afraid of tweaking with the settings of the computer. Last time I tried to tweak some setting in order to be able to install Windows 11 I bricked my computer. I'm not doing that again.
MICROSOFT PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!
Same issue. Still.
Just doesn't seem right having to reinstall Windows 10 with the Media Creation Tool
as far as I'm concerned, it's microsoft's stupidity for trying to force an updated that has nothing to do with my windows 10 home version. that should have had a fix long before now. HEY, Microsoft i do not have bitlocker!!! FIX THIS!!!
