Windows 10: Windows 10 Update Issue (0x80080005) :(

I'm having an issue with windows 10. It refuses to update giving me a error (0x80080005). if i click anything on the update window the window freezes. I've called windows support and after trying for a couple hours they say the only way to resolve the issue is a clean install of windows. Would there be a way to tranfer all my current C: drive data to a second drive that has a fresh windows 10 installed? i want to do this as cleanly as possibly. ideally i want my Drive to be exactly the way it is right now with the update issue resolved. Thanks!

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.

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP

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.
