Earlier this year, Microsoft promised it was working on fix for "0x80070643 - ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE that was happening when trying to install Windows 10 KB5034441 update. However, that's not to be.
This is honestly such a pile of shit from Microsoft. Right…. Grandma is going to resize her partitions with those ridiculously cryptic instructions. She’s totally going to figure out which partition we’re talking about, she’s totally going to open a command line interface as admin, heck she totally even knows to find those instructions. Its hard enough for people to distinguish between “ya that’s windows update, click that button” vs “no that’s a phishing attack, never click that button”
Now the rest of us who know what we’re doing have to fix everyone’s PCs in the family. Keep pushing everyone to iPads and Linux Microsoft…

IPad? From an even worse company? Linux all the way.
For my 75 year old mother who doesn’t do anything besides Facebook. Ya an iPad is perfect! ;)
She thinks it’s a full blown computer and it’s impossible to break or install a virus on it. iPads can be surprisingly good for that purpose…
NO it’s essential that grandma learn Linux!
I guess you’re right… Need a Linux distros like that so that can also change.
My 74 years old mother is using Linux and KDE for last 15 years. Facebook - works, Skype - works, solitaire - works 🙂
Oh no, Grandma’s bitlocker will be vulnerable when the attacker gets physical access to her machine!
If grandma uses TPM and has some specific device.
