Windows 10: Windows Update Problem 0x80080005

Hey guys,

My windows just doesn't want to update, i found one, that's about using the Command Prompt. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...80080005/07b6e544-a501-4492-851d-83fcb80e8f2f
That doesn't really help me, since when i type the NET START WUAUSERV i get one respond:

C:\Windows\system32>net start wuauserv

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.



What's weird tho, is the fact that i don't even have a file in my System32 named wuauserv, also in my services i don't have the WINDOWS UPDATE service.
I tried seeking help on youtube, but with little success. Only bit useful video i found is this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ln1B8yB1YHI

It tells me to try this command, but i get this weird answer, which the guy in the video doesn't get.

C:\Windows\system32>sc create wuauserv DisplayName= "Windows Update" binpath= "C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs -p" Start= delayed-auto depend= RpcSs

[SC] CreateService FAILED 1073:



The specified service already exists.


Sorry for my missspellings and that sort of stuff, English is not my native language.

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.

 

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.
