It’s a sort of tradition that Microsoft struggles to break away from. With almost every update intended to fix bugs on Windows, new ones appear. The latest version of the operating system, released this week during Patch Tuesday, is further proof of this. Although it is relatively small, many users refuse the installation, preferring to see the cryptic error message 0x80070643.
If you are one of the common people who doesn’t know what lies behind this character sequence, here’s what this error code means: There is not enough space in the Windows recovery partition to accommodate the update. In fact, with each update, a new Windows RE partition of approximately 500 MB is created on the hard disk, in case the installation encounters a problem. In some cases, it seems that this space is not enough.

In other words, it is “enough” to allocate more space on this partition for the upgrade to proceed smoothly. It might seem very difficult to accomplish if you have no idea what we are talking about, but don’t panic, the manipulation is actually very simple. So here’s how to do it:
- In the menu Startguy anyway
- Open itCommand Prompt In administrator mode
- Then type the following command from the prompt: reagentc /info
- Verify that the partition WinRE is installed on your PC. To do this, look at the status next to RE status. If it’s written Qualifiedthen the partition is installed.
- Also note the location of the partition displayed next to the row WinRE positioning
- Disable it with the command reagent /disable
Now you need to reduce the storage space allocated to Windows 10 to make more room for Windows RE. Here’s how to do it:
- Still from the command prompt, run the command diskpart
- Then type the command list disk
- Then select the disk on which you want to act with the command cellular part
- Then run the command desired shrinkage=250 minimum=250
- Now you need to delete the existing Windows recovery partition. To do this, take the position you noted during the previous step
- Then run the command cellular part
- Finally, type the command Eliminate partition replacement
Come on, it’s almost finished! All you need to do is create a new partition of the right size for Windows recovery. That’s how :
- Check if there is an asterisk next to your hard drive as you type disk list
- If there is an asterisk, type both commands create primary partition id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac Then gpt attributes =0x8000000000000001
- Otherwise, type the command create primary partition id=27
- Then type the command quick format fs=ntfs label=”RE Windows Tools”
- Exit diskpart with the order Exit
- Then run the command reagent/enable to re-enable Windows recovery
The process is now complete. All you have to do is restart Windows and try installing the latest update again. Now that Windows Recovery has enough space to install, the update should complete successfully. If, despite all these efforts, the problem persists, you can wait for an official fix from Microsoft, which should arrive soon.
