  1. Windows Update Error 0x80080005


    About a month ago I encountered this error when checking if my laptop had any updates, and at first I thought if I waited a few days the problem should be solved, but I forgot about it and now a month later it still isn't fixed. I've triedthis tutorial to see if it would help,
    and while starting wuauserv the cmd said "The wuauserv service is starting. The wuauserv service could not be started.

    A system error has occurred.

    System error 2 has occurred.

    The system cannot find the file specified."

    so after trying that I tried using the Microsoft "Get Help" app, and everything it said to do, nothings helped, and at the end it suggested I ask here or contact a Windows Advisor. Another thing I read is it could be because Windows Defender is stopping it, so I downloaded "DefenderControl" to temporarily disable Windows Defender, and when I opened it up DefenderControl couldn't find Windows Defender, which on their website said it could be because "Real-Time Protection" is disabled, and when I opened up "Windows Security" from settings to see whether it was enabled or not, nothing showed up.

    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.

    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.
