​Microsoft has confirmed that it won't provide an automated fix for a known issue causing 0x80070643 errors when installing recent Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates.

Anyone tried and succeeded? Not too awful plodding through the resizing? Tips to avoid destroying a partition and having to reinstall the os?

    A recovery environment is overrated under Windows. Just backup your files and reinstall from scratch.

      I’ve been using windows since windows 3. The number of times I’ve used the “recovery” feature is exactly zero.

      Edit: Corrected by another user below. I have used it a couple times for update rollbacks, I just haven’t used it for a full recovery. When I’ve run into serious issues I just reload it from scratch, as I keep data and OS on completely separate drives.

      Yeah, I have it turned off on all my machines (mostly because of that vulnerability a few months ago).

      I have never been in a situation where it was useful, nor have I ever had it work when I tried it.
