Windows Update Error

[theringmaster55]

Whenever I try and install the 2024 01 security update 22h2, it keeps failing and coming up with,

"There were some problems installing updates, but we’ll try again later"

Any help on how I can fix this, then that would be super.

Thanks

Does your recovery partition have plenty of space? The January update has a problem installing if the RE partition is too small. The only solution seems to be to increase its size.

Not sure how to check how much space is in my recovery partition. I've never heard of it before. Please can you tell me how I can check? Thank you.

Is it KB5034441? Not to be a Debby Downer but that update has caused a lot of misery and for Windows 10 Home version users, it doesn't even apply as it's for a BitLocker bypass.

So many other guides out there if you search the KB5034441.

If you want a fix without messing with your boot drive's partitions, you can do a repair-installation of Windows (running the ISO from your desktop instead of USB). and keep your data, documents, apps, etc. The KB will install itself automatically. Or move to Windows 11 if you want- and are able to.

Just open disk management by right clicking on Start, this will show you all partitions, if the blue bar is near the end or the bar is red then the Recovery partition needs extending.

Just checked. Everything seems fine, so not sure why the error is showing. I'm sure my PC will be fine without that specific update. Thanks for your help.

You’re welcome.

do the disk cleanup, and delete everything under the windows update folders

It's from today, not xx4441. It boot loops attempting to update like 4 times in a row.

The one that came today is KB5034763 which makes the version of 22H2 on Windows 10: 19045.4046. It's another "security update" but in typical Microsoft fashion, it explains nothing further about it on its changelog page.

I didn't have any problems with it but sometimes it takes some time before complaints start bubbling up.

Wow, as if one PC wasn't bad enough.
