Hello:
I ran the January's 2024 windows update on 7 of my computers. Two of my oldest computers failed on this update: KB5034441. I received error message 0x80070643. I see that thousands of Windows users are screaming in various forums about this, since in Microsoft's notes it says that it will fail or some computers.
I can not expand the reserved area, so I need to just get rid of the annoying message that pops-up every time I retried to do a Windows update for January 2024.
I just want to delete the message so it doesn't keep popping up since I can't fix the underlying issue because of the small size of my Reserved area. Some speculated that Microsoft might make adjustments for smaller reserved areas.
Could you provide me with a way to hide that annoying message? Can I change the patch to an inactive state so it doesn't always pop up when I retry to do a windows update?
Thanks,
Rich Locus

In addition: you can defer Microsoft updates for a few weeks. This won't affect security updates for Microsoft Defender.
Best wishes,
