Look at there:
Look the partition 4..... it's 551MB and look upper it's completely Empty and this KB5034441 fails ever.
How really i need to do ?
- I have been trying ti install KB5034441 everyday for months! I get the error message )X80070643 everyday. I have checked this forum and there does not seem to be a coherent answer. My Recovery Partition shows 508 MB and says healthy. I don't understand why Microsoft doesn't either fix this or stop sending it to me as an update every day. I am 77 years old and only moderately tech savvy - but the answers on the forum are for problems I don't have with partitions. I would appreciate any help or suggestions - this is very discouraging and poor customer service from Microsoft. Thank you
- Hi
Have you tried
Open CMD in administrator mode
reagentc / disable
wait 30 seconds
reagentc / enable
This is what made the update install for me.- Didn't work for me, for months this MS update (KB5034441 fails to install with error code 0x80070643) has been a has been a thorn in the side for billions of owners with Win10.
MS should bring out a 1 click fix download, for this instead of asking to re-size partition etc, which if your not a computer tech is very daunting thing to do.
Common MS do something about this it's been long enough now, or is this a ploy to get owners of Win10 to relent and move up to Win11 even though they don't want to?

If you just don't want to deal with this mess and don't want to risk messing with partitions, I posted a fix back in January that works fine. Stops the constant reminders, etc. I picked it up from "askwoody" - a reputable source for dealing with the insanity that periodically spews out of MS to plague users. Note that the tool he recommends is actually from microsoft, not from some third party.
Here is what I posted:
Good source for a "fix" - or, how to block the update until Microsoft actually fixes it.

I've encountered a significant problem with the installation of update KB5034441, which fails with error code 0x80070643. As a long-time patcher, I must express my concerns regarding how this update has been managed. The update is currently only available through Windows Update or Windows Update for Business and is not listed in the Microsoft Catalog or WSUS. This approach impacts "lightly" managed or "unmanaged" machines, many of which lack a TPM chip and do not have BitLocker installed, rendering the need for this update unnecessary.
The guidance provided so far involves manually resizing partitions, a task that is not straightforward for many users. There are limited tools available to anticipate this issue before attempting the installation, which often leads to failure. Using a PowerShell script is not a feasible solution for everyone, especially for users like my 95-year-old father, let alone managing this across multiple office machines.
With the weekend approaching, a critical patching period, I urge Microsoft to improve communication regarding this update. It would be beneficial to incorporate detection mechanisms into the patch to prevent installation attempts on machines without a TPM chip or BitLocker. These machines are not at risk, and the current requirements are impractical for the Windows 10 patching audience.
Additionally, managing updates like these is challenging for businesses, much like running an e-commerce site such as https://www.sucksmoke.com/ that relies on smooth operations and minimal disruptions. It's essential for Microsoft to consider the practicalities and limitations faced by their users.
