Windows 10: Window 10 20H2 Update error 0x80080005

I noticed today that I could not access my Windows 20H2 updates history after installing two Windows updates last night.In addition now I cannot search for new updates without the above error. I tried sfc /scannow which said it could not fix some errors. I then tried the DISM tool and got this result:

Windows update error (0x80080005)

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 error (0x80080005)

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.

 

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.
