Windows 10: Increased WinRE size to 1GB, KB5034441 still has Download error - 0x80070643

HiI assumed that to fix the KB5034441 issue was to increase the WinRE size, in my case I increased it to 1GBand after having to watch a youtube video to repair the issue caused by the instructions given by Microsoft to increase it.and even after all that, KB5034441 still comes up with the following Download error - 0x80070643

KB5034441 0x80070643 error despite no WinRE volume

Like many Win10 users, I am getting the 0x80070643 error when I try installing the KB5034441 update. The claim everyone makes is that this is due to the WinRE volume not having enough space. But I don't even have a WinRE partition -- I've disabled WinRE and deleted its partition. What is going on here? And will a repair install help? I was considering doing a repair install for other reasons anyway. Is there a way to tell if a repair install would include KB5034441? If it didn't include it, I don't see the point.

 

KB5034441 fails with error 0x80070643.

Thank you.

I think 1 GB is enough.

I don't think you should make any changes now - a fix is on the way.

Devices attempting to install the January 2024 Windows Recovery Environment update ( KB5034441) might display an error related to the size of the Recovery Environment's partition. The Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) is used to repair or recover from issues affecting Windows.

Resulting from this error, the following message might be displayed.

Workaround: It might be necessary to increase the size of the WinRE partition in order to avoid this issue and complete the installation. Note that 250 megabytes of free space is required in the recovery partition. Guidance to change the WinRE partition size can be found in KB5028997: Instructions to manually resize your partition to install the WinRE update.

2024-01 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034441) error (0x80070643) a known issue?

I am getting the error on update KB5034441; "There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help (0x80070643). Status: Download Error 0x80070643

The only answers I have found here are for the errors:

• Windows Recovery Environment servicing failed.
  (CBS_E_INSUFFICIENT_DISK_SPACE)
  
• 0x80070643 - ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE
  

WinRE needs to have a bigger (1gb) partition, but I am not getting the error it says you will receive if the partition needs to be expanded.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
