​Microsoft has confirmed that it won't provide an automated fix for a known issue causing 0x80070643 errors when installing recent Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates.

20240520 UPDATE: I just ran winupdate on an ancient win10 surface and after the same 643 error two more times, and running through all the available updates, it’s now reporting I’m up to date. yippee.
I guess the latest update finally fixed it, at least on the Surface.

Anyone tried and succeeded? Not too awful plodding through the resizing? Tips to avoid destroying a partition and having to reinstall the os?

    I did all this lovely manual bs to get rid of an update error about a year ago. This one I just said “fuck it” and have left it ignored. I don’t get on windows often enough anymore to waste my time on it. About all it gets fired up for is when my kid wants to play fortnite with me.
