Windows Update failure

Post by silverback »

I'm getting a failure to install KB5034441, a Security update for Windows 10. Error code (0x80070643). I've tried many times to reinstall, but it continues to fail.
Googling the error code suggests that I delete the update file and force Windows Update to re-download it in case it got corrupted, but where does Window store these files so I can delete it, please?
Thanks

This video suggests that you ignore it for now - Microsoft should release a fix sometime soon.
Best wishes,

In case video has less info than needed..... Link below from AskWoody Blog (currently) should show detailed discussion on this AND an MS Fix Link (below) ref ( KB5028997) HOW TO Re-size WinRe partition to Install WinRe Update -- IF you want to use Bitlocker.. I'd need 3 beers first to attempt but you may be versed in such matters.....

HIDE KB via 3rd party tool (like WUshowhide.diagcab / WuMgr ) suggested if no Bitlocker need.

EDIT: AskWoody Article link updated 2/11.....
