Downloaded and installed all those updates, but like several other the KB5034122 "Security update for Windows" keeps giving an error code 0X80070643.
KB5034441 (the security update), failed to install. Probably because I have no Recovery partition.
Otherwise... everything went well...
Since I don't have a Recovery partition (not even a disabled one), I don't guess it can be hacked.
I think it's kind of sloppy of MS to not account for that in their Recovery partition security update.
KB5034441 should have never turned up in my Windows updates.

I must admit after looking at the ms solution for enlarging the recovery partition I have no idea what they are talking about. How on earth do they think most users will deal with this.
Somehow I have 2 Recovery partitions on my system drive. Do I need to remove 1? If so which one?

We have 6 windows 10 laptops in the house. The only 2 this installs on are the two laptops that do not qualify for Windows 11.
The cynic in me does wonder if this if this is relevant.
I get the same initial "download error" 0x80070643 with a retry option showing. On subsequent attempts to install (after a reboot) it stays stuck on installing 0% (within Windows Update app, that is) then springs error 0x80070643 again. SFC all clean before & after.
Seems very widspread. MS can't expect the average user to muck about with recovery partitions (& this doesn't even specify this a s a solution for error code 0x8007643, that I could see anyway). Plus on reading around the web it seems that increasing partition sizes hasn't helped many.
