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

Here I was a few days ago, happy that the (MULTIPLE) failed install notifications had been erased from my download record by the MS Fairy, but I rejoiced too soon, as I just went to my update records there it was again!!!
KB5034441 had attempted to install itself again on Monday 18.03.2024 AND AGAIN failed... WHY???
Is Microsoft run by a complete gang of MORONS or what???
Microsoft has shamelessly been dragging this for more than two months. Speaks volumes on how much they care for customer experience, or for the security of customers' data (this is meant to be a security update that should ideally be installed immediately upon release). Pathetic!

Plenty of posters seem to have the same opinion of MS & its apparent lack of customer care & service, but this does not fix the problem... Where are the experts that can bring MS to the FIXIT stage...
As PremSS pointed out, "THIS IS A SECURITY UPDATE" & should be given the priority it deserves, especially in view of current attacks that are going on worldwide hacking & stealing of personal data...
So where are the EXPERTS that purport to tell us how to fix our problems when you need them... Ghosting!!!
If you'd like to wait for Microsoft to issue an update, simply hide the KB5034441 update using the WUShowHide.diagcab tool. Select the KB5034441 update and hide it.
I fully agree with you about the worldwide hacking & stealing of personal data part of your post. Considering my woman, who lives in Sweden. First had her Facebook hacked, that lead to her email being hacked. Then a Russian hacking team hacked the school she's been headmaster of, soon followed. The question then because, were all of them connected as in done by the same team that first hacked her Facebook account. Which of course has your email addy connected to it. Then her job as well? And Sweden has MEGA security with their banking system. I'd sit there and wait fir her just to open her account. She has to use this little thing she calls a Gizmo, for lack of a better name for it. As well as like 3 levels of different passwords. So fortunately for that, they never got into her bank account. Because you have to have that Gizmo to get in. But they did get into her schools account & are holding it hostage for ransom. So yeah, we need this security update mess fixed. I mean I use and almost always have used both a anti virus program as well as a Malware program ( Malwarebytes ) as well. But that doesn't stop the computer itself from being hacked and held for ransom. Forget about any other updates and fix this one first. All hands on deck as the saying goes. Why cant they break it in pieces and download 1 piece at a time? Or do what they say is a fix, of making a new partition that is big enough for the whole security update? I can probably do a partition. But since I love to reset back to factory settings once a year? Will this messed up update cause a problem doing that. Like it did setting back my 2nd Windows 7 Because of that damn popup to install windows 8 for free did? We ended up having to install over 150 updates manually, and some didn't work. Thankfully enough did that the computer was useable.
