Windows 10: Windows Update Error 0x80080005

Before you redirect me to the main post where it has been solved, no, that did not work. So this is part of a rabbit hole of mine where I've been trying to fix a game where it brings me to corrupted system files and now, here. The problem lies within this broken windows update. Something in my system is corrupted and I have no idea how to fix this. My last update was back in April. I have ran DISM, SFC and Windows Update Reset Tool but it didn't do much. Troubleshooter is broken as well and I can't run it. System Scan tells me there is corrupted files but it can't fix them. CBS oldest log is recorded at April, coincidence? TLR system is corrupted and updates wont start, send help. Also my name is just keyboard spam, don't question it.

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.




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.

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.
