​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?

      They don’t need to reinstall the OS to resolve this issue though, unless they absolutely fucked their paritions.

      Which is why Microsoft couldn’t automate a fix. It’s incredibly easy to fuck your partitions to hell and back, especially through Windows. Too many conditions to check for and try to handle automatically.

        It’s incredibly easy to fuck your partitions to hell and back, especially through Windows.

        Fun fact: Windows won’t allow you to delete any EFI partition (that is the only one I know of/tried) unless its through diskpart with a specific override/force option.

        But then again, I somehow nuked my recovery partition by accident at some point as well.

      And if they’re having trouble with their car they could just hire a taxi. But they’re trying to fix their car so telling them to hire a taxi is useless advice.
