Windows 10: windows update error 0x80080005

gpedit.msc gets windows cannot find error

 

First try running sfc /scannow and post the screenshot with the snipping tool.

It was stuck, because you didn't wait until it ended. DISM normally requires 30min to 2hours.

 

Hi, I have the same error that Windows Update just hangs (or gives the error code 0x80080005) I can't access the Store or Xbox, and the mail client has stopped connecting to gmail etc.

All was working fine but seems to have stopped around September 10th (that's the last time gmail synced)

I've tried this taken from googling:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth hit enter after the proces termine type this DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth hit enter after that type this Sfc /Scannow

This didn't work. Each of the 3 commands reported no issues.

Any further advice greatly received.

 

Tried this and this is what I got...



"Windows Resource Protection Could not perform the requested operation."

I'd like to mention also an issue:
this message appears frequently on my screen...



Any suggestion?
thanks!

Oh god, haven't been here for a while...
@Emrick Can you post a Task Manager screenshot?
@viju Update Windows 10 to version 14393 (1611) and try that again.

 

My version of Windows is :Windows 10 Pro Version1511,O.S. Built 10586.71

I have been prompted to install updates;Cumulative updates 1516 x 64 based system(KB3210721)
and Anniversary updates.

I had tried several times by windows updates but failed.Then I downloaded the file (about1.035 GB) of1516 x 64 based system(KB3210721) and tried to installed but failed.

Then tried upgrade to anniversary version using media creation tool but failed again.Then I tried to remove error as suggested by you but failed (Screen shot sent to you in my last post.)
Now you have suggested me to upgrade to Update Windows 10 to version 14393 (1611) and try that again.I believe version 14393 (1611) is a server version.Kindly let me know the reason.

 

14393 is the Redstone 1 update, it's not for Server 2016, it's for Windows 10.
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/windows10 and press Update now.

 

I did what you told.Update stopped at 44% and got error message.

Something went wrong

Dear Hexagon12,

I am awaiting your comments.

 

@viju WSReset.exe was supposed to clean the Windows Store cache, but now it just opens Windows Store.

What antivirus are you using? Also update your system specs.
