KB5034441 fails to install with error code 0x80070643.
SusanBradleyGeek I had the same issue. I hope the solution I stumbled upon helps others.
When updating windows KB5034441 I would get error 800070643 with no installation.
Thing I have tried, the did not solve the issue.
- increased recovery partition to 1.93MB (in stages)
- windows troubleshooter - updates
- restart computer
- SFC /scannow
- DISM.EXE /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Nothing worked!
SOLUTION
note: Recovery partition must be immediatly after C: partition
Make recovery partition 1GB by:
use DISK MANAGEMENT to shrink C:
Use GPARTED boot to expand Recovery partition into space created by shrinking C:
note: Disk Managment is must faster at shrinking that GPARTED
Open CMD in administrator mode
reagentc / disable
reagentc / enable
Try the update again. HAZZA! Update installed.
I hope this helps someone in the future.
