- There could be lot of different reasons but most common know to be : Recovery partition issue or services not running.

I had the same issue regarding the update error (0x80070643), and managed to get the issue fixed by following these steps from here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5028997-instructions-to-manually-resize-your-partition-to-install-the-winre-update-400faa27-9343-461c-ada9-24c8229763bf- Hi everyone.
I am having exactly the same issue than You.
The positions are different for me on the first disk.
Partition 1 is Recovery and partition 2 is system and Partition 3 is the rest of the disk. I am able to touch only the 3rd one to make free space, but when I follow the guidelines to increase the partition size, I am not able to create a new partition that inclue the new available space, as they are not next to each other, as I understand.
I am now in May and the problem is still here. Does anyone is still having the same issue than me ?
(sorry for my crappy English, I am coming from France and I am fare to be billingual)
- Yes, this is a workaround but there is a risk of data lost if there is a mistake , so it is recommended to backup data before following this method. In addition, Microsoft is working on a fix and hopefully there would be easier solution in the future.
- In case you observe this error for KB5034441 update and you will see update failures for this update, then it is known issue.
Have a look at:

- Correct, explanation of Physical is "The attack requires the attacker to physically touch or manipulate the vulnerable component. Physical interaction may be brief or persistent." , it is still important and hopeful a solution will be available soon.

(LinkedIn)Hi. it's a bit complicated I'm ignoring this error for now, it applies to Windows10 computers.
Check it out:

I would like to add that trying to fix it yourself is a waste of time in this case.
