End of Windows 10 support: one more year for those who cannot upgrade to version 11 (but you will have to pay: here's how much)


There are more and more reports of a potential problem that arose among users following the installation of a recent Windows 10 update.

According to reports on social networks and forums, they are the update KB5057589released to improve the restoration environment (Winre) in Windows 10 version 21h2 and Windows 10 version 22h2, and installed if the running PC is equipped with a system restoration partition.

Well, starting from last April 8, the cases of notification of a specific error have multiplied, it 0x80070643which generally appears when problems occurred during the installation phase or when the operation was not successful. At least this is what usually happens if this specific report appears, yet in this circumstance it seems that the update has instead been successful.

Second Microsoft It is a bug, given that the error code is specifically reported when another update is in the waiting phase of restart, which does not happen with the recent update: it would therefore be Windows to incorrectly interpret the state of the system and not to leave the loop.

According to some interpretations, the problem would derive from the fact that the system is trying to update despite the fact that some requirements are not met, namely the presence of a partition, the free space on the partition of at least 250 MB and the winter image with a version greater or equal to 10.0.19041.5728.

Whatever the origin of the malfunction, appeared in other circumstances last year, Microsoft has never proposed any valid solution, so the advice is to ignore the error message, however annoying it can be.

In the other circumstances in which the reporting of the same code during the update has occurred, there was nothing more to do but wait for the subsequent automatic scan of new updates by the operating system or the arrival of a new package of any kind. As for the KB5057589, however, there is no problem, since it has been installed despite the message, you just have to wait for the system to delete the report.
