Hi @Lois,

Do you get any error messages? If so, where? Could you post a picture of the problem? What operating system are you using and what version?

Please provide more details.

Hello.

My specs:

OS Windows 10 Pro 22H2 x64 With Latest Windows Updates Installed

Installed On 18.01.2023

OS Build 19045.3930

Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19053.1000.0

I guess this is the update that can't be installed:

On the other hand, all other updates were successfully installed:

So, i believe this is not a Bitdefender related issue, but Microsoft related issue.

Apparently, it's a known MS issue, unrelated to Bitdefender.

The Installing "button" just goes back to "install"

You can also take a look at the Microsoft Community post related to your error and try the resolution provided by verified users there.

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-update-failed-to-install-error-0x80070643/745e0b71-f479-44e6-bb3e-47093c5aa5eb

Additionally, an alternate way to install the update is to visit https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Home.aspx

In the search bar, enter the KB version. If the result shows up, you can then download a standalone/offline installer of the same KB version based on your Windows version and architecture.

Hello.

Actually, this is the dedicated post about the same issue on Microsoft Community:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/2024-01-security-update-for-windows-10-version/7037b0f2-fa91-4462-ad29-e2a46d796104

And this is the update:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/topic/kb5034441-windows-recovery-environment-update-for-windows-10-version-21h2-and-22h2-january-9-2024-62c04204-aaa5-4fee-a02a-2fdea17075a8

Pay attention on these parts:

"IMPORTANT

This update requires 250 MB of free space in the recovery partition to install successfully. If the recovery partition does not have sufficient free space, this update will fail. In this case, you will receive the following error message: 

0x80070643 - ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE 

To avoid this error or recover from this failure, please follow the Instructions to manually resize your partition to install the WinRE update and then try installing this update."

UPDATE:

Hello all.

Just follow the steps from this article:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5028997-instructions-to-manually-resize-your-partition-to-install-the-winre-update-400faa27-9343-461c-ada9-24c8229763bf

and the update will be installed successfully on your Windows 10 device.

It worked for me, and here's the proof:

First, do the steps from the article (no device restart is needed after finishing the steps) and next try to install the update from the Windows Update setting (no device restart is needed after installing the update).

Regards.

This much more technical than I feel capable of doing. Will it endanger my computer to just let it hang
