    help in error 0x80080005


    Hi all.


    I've just managed to solve this issue, not being able to find any solution over the Internet after several days of search, test and fail, so I'm sharing it here in case somebody is in the same situation. I hope it is not against any policy doing so.


    Version: Windows 10 Home/Pro x64 1803

    Issue: Missing service Windows Update, as a result of deletion sc delete wuauserv . Stupid stupid action, I know, but in Home edition, I was out of ideas to avoid automatic updates not having gpo.

    Running services.msc doesnt show the Windows Update service. In Regedit the key[HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv] doesn't exist or is empty.

    Windows Store update and download also show errors

    error: 0x80070424 when trying to refresh updates manually

    0x80070006 after a wrong .reg recovery


    Windows update troubleshooter, both the one in the windows settings or https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10164 , fail to run. The last troubleshooter also includes running:


    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    sfc /scannow


    I tried using a .reg available online to recover the service, located at this place: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/57567-restore-default-services-windows-10-a.html . The service was back but I have then the error 0x80070006. It might be due to being a different or early Windows version.


    I asked a friend with a Professional 1803 version we also used different languages for install and run Windows to export his services\wuauserv registry. I imported it, restarted, and my updates are back. I honestly hope it might help someone out there. Best luck if you need to use it.


    Cheers,

    Joseps




    Do the registry import as usual: copy all the text under the line in Notepad or a text editor, save it, change the extension to .reg and run it. Accept the security warning and restart.


    edit 24/12/2019, as per @k1nd3r suggestion I'm deleting an unnecessary blank right under the separation line :

    edit 16/02/2020, I missed writing down here that @k1nd3r also pointed out that the fix works in Win x64 v.1909 OSb 18363.535


    edit 16/02/2020, as per @- and later @Aharami reported, I am adding error code 0x80080005 here and in the title as a different one this fix might help with. Please credit them for pointing out.


    edit 24/02/2020, I quote here @BogdanPurghel : There is also a script, Reset-WindowsUpdate.ps1, available on technet.microsoft. I'd suggest searching and trying for that if this fix doesn't work for you.

    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.
