    Windows update error 0x80080005


    First it was when I tried to add an input language, it took a long time to load and often when scrolling the language list the window would freeze. Even after successfully adding an input language, the downloading for keyboard packs etc. would stuck, never downloading. Then later when I tried to update windows it showed me error "There were some problems installing updates" 0x80080005.


    I tried searching for a solution then I found out that it was a windows update error.

    Windows Update Error Code 0x80080005 - Microsoft Community I tried the best answer on the question on this link multiple times but there was always something that did not work, either "service has already started" or I cannot rename because access was denied, at the end of the day I succeeded in resetting the software distribution folder, somewhat, because I had to try it multiple times. But even after doing that and restarting the pc it still won't be back to normal.


    I tried other things like sfc scannow and using the troubleshooter, didn't work either.

    Right now the problem still persists. Checking updates history doesn't work, the page goes blank, I couldn't click anything, so I can't uninstall updates either.


    How do I fix this? Also if possible is there a way to use the method on the link above successfully?


    I'm using Windows 10, version 1903, OS build 18362.1139

    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.

    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.
