Windows 10: Update error code 0x80080005

It says, "Your device is missing important security and quality fixes."


Whenever I run windows update, I receive the following:


"There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: 0x80080005".


I can't access "View update history", it freezes the screen whenever I click on it.


When clicked on "Check for Updates" it just tries to find updates but never succeeds.


Also, I can't install apps from the store or update C++/Runtime/Direct X. Not sure if it is because of the above issue.


Thank 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.

 

Windows Update Showing error (0x80080005) randomly

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.
