Windows 10: Computer not installing updates and error 0x80080005.

Greetings!


I have a problem with my computer. It stopped installing UPDATES and anything fromMICROSOFT STORE. When I try to install an update I get ERROR0x80080005 and on the microsoft store the apps never make it past''PENDING''.

My internet speed is great 400 mb/s and my computer has loads of storage available on the C drive 80GB. It just won't update. It says thatIMPORTANT UPDATES ARE MISSING but it just won't install them...

Any suggestions?


Thanks

:)

Sorry? Have you got the correct Tweaking .com's repair tool? Or followed the steps to the end where you actually do the numbered repairs?




- If you had followed all the steps I'd have expected it to take a bit longer.

It guides you through stages of preparation, then you perform the repairs in Safe Mode.




step 1

then




Of course, you can just go to Safe Mode, launch the program, and directly run the repairs, missing the preparation... not the best of ideas. It's designed to give you ways of going back if something goes wrong by creating a restore point, registry backup... then doing the repairs.

Hi, this thread:
Fresh Windows 10 Activation/Update Issue Solved - Windows 10 Forums

suggests the error number may occur where one of the OTHER drives has a problem.

Your specs don't say whether you have other drives installed.

Anyway, worth using Hard Disk Sentinel (trial) - the best text summary of such programs I've seen- to check your disks. Failing that check SMART params and do a surface scan with something else.
