KB5034441 fails to install with error code 0x80070643.
Feedback from a long time patcher here:
The manner in which this particular update has been handled has been poor in my opinion. The update is only being pushed out to Windows update or Windows upd...
Maybe they dont have another solution 🙂PRSGroupIT
Here's what doesn't make sense to me:
1. The risk of this vulnerability is in the enterprise space. Yet the patch isn't released to WSUS or on the Microsoft catalog site - those are the two landing spots for more enterprise patching.
2. One could argue that in this era of cloud first that WU is the the right target channel, but it's also offered up to EVERY Windows 10 HOME pc that probably doesn't have a TPM, doesn't have bitlocker anyway (they can only do drive encryption and down on that platform it's probably not enabled by default. So why not
3. have a more targeted deployment to ONLY those Windows 10 pro with bitlocker enabled. To release it to Windows 10 Home/Consumers that could possibly make their systems unbootable poking around their partitions is being more damaging to the consumer/home segment. There is little to no risk to a segment of patchers that problem aren't vulnerable to this security issue in the first place.
As a FYI it was recommended to me to provide feedback to Microsoft in this venue. So I was trying as best as I could to be respectful. I am the long time patcher. So when I say "Feedback from a long time patcher": That's me I am talking about. I have been patching systems and computers and remember when Code Red hit the Internet and I couldn't figure out why ebay was so slow. Since before Microsoft update was a thing. Since before Patch Tuesday was on a Tuesday.
