Earlier this year, Microsoft promised it was working on fix for "0x80070643 - ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE that was happening when trying to install Windows 10 KB5034441 update. However, that's not to be.
TWO of my laptops were bit by that bug/error. Not one. Two.
But what they offered was not a real solution. I’m an experienced computer user, and still didn’t wanna mess with that “solution”.
This was done just to force people to upgrade to a Win11 (and maybe get a new PC too, if their old one couldn’t run Win11). If not that, then simply, incompetence in general.
One issue is that some people are still on windows 7 installs that were upgraded. Windows 7 had a large enough partition for then, but the upgrade now needs more. Unfortunately 2009 Microsoft didn’t anticipate that this should be bigger for 2023 installs. Making it larger is a hassle I wouldn’t want to code either.

It’s all laughable, really.
I used to have a very nice laptop that had a blue screen error I could never figure out, I wonder if this was it. Actually I still have it 🤔

Both my laptops were Win10-native, not upgrades from previous versions.
