Microsoft has confirmed that it won't provide an automated fix for a known issue causing 0x80070643 errors when installing recent Windows Recovery Environment updates.
Microsoft first acknowledged this known issue in January, days after widespread reports from Windows users of 0x80070643 errors and the installation failing.
To address the installation problems, Microsoft told Windows users they must expand their WinRE partition by 250 MB to accommodate the new update, offering detailed instructions on how to do so.
The manual steps for editing the WinRE partition are still too complicated for many Windows users, leaving them with an update that won't install and a 0x80070643 error in Windows Update.
Today, Microsoft confirmed that it won't release an automated fix to address the issue causing the Windows update install 0x80070643 errors and asked customers to resize the WinRE partitions manually.
