Windows Updates
“This update addresses security issues for your Windows operating system.”
Nearly 3 dozen issues addressed.
Win10 – January 9, 2024—KB5034122 (OS Builds 19044.3930 and 19045.3930)
Win11 – January 9, 2024—KB5034123 (OS Builds 22621.3007 and 22631.3007)

There is an issue with Win10 update KB5034441. It may fail with a “download error” 0x80070643. There is a “fix”, I tried it and it works.
HOWEVER, I DO NOT recommend it at this time. Give Microsoft time to see if they can fix this.
