Microsoft recently rolled out KB5034441 (Windows Recovery Environment update) for Windows 10, version 21H2 and 22H2. It’s a security update that fixes the vulnerability related to Bitlocker encryption. The vulnerability could potentially allow attackers to bypass BitLocker encryption by utilizing the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE).

We have created a quick video walkthrough explaining the same issue embedded at the bottom of the post.

Some users may encounter an error message during the update process indicating a lack of disk space:

Windows Recovery Environment servicing failed.
(CBS_E_INSUFFICIENT_DISK_SPACE)

This error is triggered when the recovery partition on certain computers is not large enough to accommodate the WinRE update. It’s essential to address this issue promptly to complete the update successfully.

Apart from this, there is a known issue related to error code handling, where users might encounter a different error message than the one related to disk space insufficiency. Specifically, users might see:

0x80070643 - ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE

Despite this discrepancy in error messages, users should interpret this as an indication of insufficient disk space rather than a separate installation failure. The provided manual resolution instructions should still be followed to address this issue.

Fix – Windows 10 KB5034441 Fails to Install with Error 0x80070643

To overcome the insufficient disk space challenge and proceed with the WinRE update and fix the Windows Recovery Environment servicing failure. (CBS_E_INSUFFICIENT_DISK_SPACE) or 0x80070643 – ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE, users can follow the provided manual instructions to resize the partition. These instructions guide users through the process of resizing their partitions to meet the update’s requirements. Following these steps diligently will ensure a successful installation.

Microsoft has released a script to help increase the size of the recovery partition, ensuring successful updates to the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). It is recommended to have 250MB of free space in the recovery partition for WinRE updates.

Here’s what you need to do:

Grab the Script, or Download Notepad containing the script from here.

In the C drive, you need to create a new folder to create a backup of this process which the script may use in case of failure to restore the original partition. I will name it backup.

Run Windows Powershell as administrator. When the UAC dialog box appears click yes to continue.

In the Powershell Window, you need to copy-paste the above script and hit enter.

Windows 10 KB5034441 Fails to Install with Download Error 0x80070643

Now you will be asked to enter the location of the backup of the process, simply type c:\(name of backup folder). In my case, it’s c:\backup. After typing hit enter.

The script will start collecting the OS data and check if your device need winRe partition or not.

Once you reach here, type Y to continue. This will execute the script.

What this will do is increase the size of the WinRE partition to 250 MB, which is suggested by Microsoft for the proper installation of this update.

The process will take a few seconds.

After you see the status “Successfully completed the operation“.
