Windows 10: Having an error 0x80080005 which using windows update feature

After taking time in checking for updates . Windows is giving an error with error code 0x80080005 .

My current windows version is windows 10 version 1809 .

I looked upon it and came to result that this error code was general in 1709 but why it is coming after an error .

And seriously i want to complain about one more thing that windows is full of BSODs

For every new error. Even though i changed my hard disk a couple of months ago but then also , it gives error and results into boot device options not found.


Sometimes it gives error

Critical process died.

Having RAM of 8 gb .... i5 processor and when seeing windows sucks...feels very bad

Win 10 Update Error 0x80080005


Hi Ken,

Thanks for replying.

I've tried so many things, both this time and at a previous installation-problem time, that I cannot remember what I have done. But these do include simple switches in the settings to changing stuff in the registry and deleting whole update folders. (This sounds a little random, but a lot of the suggestions have come from relatively trustworthy site such as this one.)

After I posted the fist one here, I did find a page that initially seemed to answer my question directly windows update error 0x80080005

However, not only do I not have gpedit.msc, the rest of it did not work anyway.

If I attempt the clean install as you have suggested, (I have only scanned the page you have referenced) it seems to indicate that at some point I will need a product key which I don't have. Is that correct?

Is it better to have a bootable USB or DVD?

I have a 128GB SSD C: drive which has Windows and other fast-boot programs on and the other programs (and data) are on a 3GB HDD D: drive in a self made "D:\Program Files (D)" folder. Also, I have created a link for windows update on the D: drive in an attempt to stop a previous update problem that was occurring (it was blowing out all the drive space - don't ask). How will all this be affected by the clean install (I notice it suggests disconnecting any non-OS drives. (I will get round to reading the page properly, but time constraints are numerous at the moment.)

Your help is much appreciated.

Matt
