Windows 10: Help fixing Windows 10 update, error 8007005

Have continuously been getting error 0x8007005 on Windows 10 update. Currently had to manually update using Windows10_InsiderPreview_Client_x64_en-us_18290.iso from slow ring, hoping Auto or forced update would start working again. I has not! I tried every fix I could find on the Internet for this error and other update errors. I got some errors with some of the fixes. I'm not a tech, maybe a superuser maybe not. Help please.


Here's a list of what I tried (multiple time and in various order) and the results, none fix Windows Update error 80070005.


1) sfc /scannow - no errors found

2) DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth - no errors found

3) installed subinacl.msi in c:\windows\system32 - no errors on install but I don't see it in system32 (not sure if I'm supposed to).


3a) ran

Set OSBIT=32
IF exist "%ProgramFiles(x86)%" set OSBIT=64
set RUNNINGDIR=%ProgramFiles%
IF %OSBIT% == 64 set RUNNINGDIR=%ProgramFiles(x86)%
subinacl /subkeyreg "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing" /grant="nt service\trustedinstaller"=f

no errors shown

@echo off

Windows 10 install fails with error code 8007005

I have attempted to upgrade to Windows 10 several times. The upgrade fails with an 8007005 error. I have attempted every fix suggested online without success. Is there another method to receive the Windows 10 upgrade or eliminate the update so I can return
to normal Windows 7 automatic updates?

Thank you for your reply.

My original posting of the problem was on August 4, 2015 and I don't know if I read the above posted article on or about that date or not. If I had, I doubt that it would have been helpful as the reference to the free utility found on www.tweaking.com
was not added to that posting until August 9, 2015 and by then the Microsoft Tier 2 technician was already engaged in fixing my PC. On August 12, 2015 I updated my posting referencing the utility but unfortunately, I fat fingered the web address. At this
point I do not know if other readers of this posting since August 12th gave up because of the bad web address but I appreciate the fact that the respondent on July 3, 2016 took the time to point out my inadvertent mistake.

The important thing is that both this posting and the posting above both indicate that that there is a utility out there on www.tweaking.com that might help resolve your 8007005 error. I agree with Niranjan that readers of this post should look at the
above referenced posting as there are more suggestions of things to try than just the free utility.
