The April 2025 Windows RE update might show as unsuccessful in Windows Update

Status Confirmed

Affected platforms Client Versions Message ID Originating KB Resolved KB Windows 10, version 21H2 WI1053714 KB5057589 – Windows 10, version 22H2 WI1053715 KB5057589 – Server Versions Message ID Originating KB Resolved KB Windows Server 2022 WI1053716 KB5057588 –

After installing the April 2025 Windows Recovery Environment update [the Originating KBs listed above], you might see the following error message in the Windows Update settings page: 0x80070643 – ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE. This error message is not accurate and does not impact the update or device functionality. The Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) is a recovery environment that can repair common causes of unbootable operating systems. This error is observed when the device installs the WinRE update when there is another update in a pending reboot state. Although the error message suggests the update did not complete, the WinRE update is typically applied successfully after the device restarts. Windows Update might continue to display the update as failed until the next daily scan, at which point the update is no longer offered and the failure message is cleared automatically. Next steps: We are working on a resolution and will provide more information when it is available.
