    Hello, I've an old pc on which I didn't upgrade in time to windows 10. So, recently I decided to buy a licence of windows 10.
    I purchase a pro version on amazon, but in reality I got a serial for an enterprise version.
    I've installed it and everything worked fine for the first 2 weeks. The licence is verified and working.
    Able to download and install updates also.
    Then, I noticed the windows security icon disappeared, and also in the settings it was "blanked". Greyed out, inactive.

    Also, performing updates would result after those 2 weeks in error 0x80080005

    Current version installed 19042


    I've tried many solutions, listed for example on https://windowsreport.com/windows-10-error-0x80080005
    I've also run a script that restart all requires services, listed in another tutorial for 0x80080005
    Didn't work, so I ended up reinstalling it. First using a reset, and then a clean reinstall.
    In both cases the result was the same: working for the first 2 weeks and then having the same issues described.
    I've also tried uninstalling the recent updates, I thought maybe there's something corrupted in the latest updates, didn't fix the problem.

    I want to mention that another problem is that right after the boot up, every time, the fan start spinning real fast.
    When I open the task manager, cpu usage is very high, but goes back to normal. Only if I open up the task manager.
    So this is an operation I've to do every time I boot up.
    I also run the latest windows malware removal and there's nothing.

    I contacted the tech support, explaining the issue as now and I got a copy and paste answer.
    Saying I should reinstall windows, after normal bootup the rep explained later that "normal" means safe mode.
    I explained him I've already done that twice and got exactly the same results.

    Please let me know if you have any suggestion.
    Thanks

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:
