Hello,
Error 0x80070005 indicates an "access denied" error, which typically occurs when the user account doesn't have the necessary permissions to install or modify certain files or settings. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:
-Check user account permissions: Ensure that your user account has administrative privileges. You can verify this by going to "Settings" > "Accounts" > "Your info" and checking if your account is listed as an administrator. If it isn't, you may need to switch to an administrator account or contact your system administrator for assistance.
-Reset Windows Update components: Resetting the Windows Update components can often resolve update-related issues. You can do this by running a series of commands in an elevated Command Prompt window:
Press the Windows key, type "cmd," and right-click on "Command Prompt."
Select "Run as administrator" to open an elevated Command Prompt.
Run the following commands one by one, pressing Enter after each:
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
