Microsoft resolved a bug that incorrectly displayed 0x80070643 install failure errors for April 2025 WinRE updates (KB5057588 for Windows Server 2022 and KB5057589 for Windows 10 22H2/21H2), clarifying the updates typically applied successfully after a restart and the incorrect message will no longer appear; affected systems will not be re-offered the update, and administrators can verify status with DISM, while Microsoft also recalled past update retirements tied to similar errors and cautioned that fraudulent support sites had previously exploited the issue by pushing malicious PowerShell fixes that deployed information-stealing malware.
