Windows 10: "The Windows RE image was not found" after trying to fix update error 0x80070643

My windows 10 PC wasn't pushing an update, and it was crashing which I assumed was because of the updates not pushing so I followed the instructions in this article.KB5028997: Instructions to manually resize your partition to install the WinRE update - Microsoft SupportBut I got to the end, and I get a message that says " The Windows RE image was not found" so not only was my original problem not fixed but I now have another one on top of that.

error 0x80070643 (update)

Hey

Try to apply the update manually As suggested by Microsoft. I just wrote a
step by step guide.

However be sure that the update itself is downloaded and that the installation part is failing, and not the downloading part.

Hope it helps you

Error 0x80070643 and Error 1336 When trying to Install Windows updates or C++ Redistributables Windows 10

Thank you for your help!

After running Windows Update Troubleshooter I see the following:

"Windows Update Components Must Be Repaired" = Fixed

"Service registration is missing or corrupt. Reset Service Registration" = Completed

I then followed instruction under your next suggestions:

'what can I try if I'm having problems installing an update'

and read and followed the thread:

I was unable to complete step 3: "Ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.bak" As it said it was in use.

I did complete all other steps.

I restarted the PC and retried Windows Update, and it downloads them, then fails again. Same error 0x80070643
