Microsoft won't fix Windows 0x80070643 errors, manual fix required (www.bleepingcomputer.com)

20240520 UPDATE: I just ran winupdate on an ancient win10 surface and after the same 643 error two more times, and running through all the available updates, it's now reporting I'm up to date. yippee.
I guess the latest update finally fixed it, at least on the Surface.

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

The number of times I’ve used the “recovery” feature is exactly zero.

The RE Partition is for more than Recovery. If you've ever uninstalled an update then you've used the RE Partition.

Very good point! Then I have used it.

In this case I'm happy I always installed Windows without RE partition. It works fine and you can still uninstall updates. Broken system files can also be replaced by a fresh pull from Windows Update.
