Answer 1

Hello,

You can now directly upgrade to latest version i.e. Version 24H2 as Version 22H2 already reached end of servicing support on 8th October 2024.

Try upgrading via Windows 11 24H2 ISO file:

Answer 2

Hi Liam,

Thanks for your post. Error code 0x80070005 means access denied and it usually occurs because of lack of registry permissions when you are trying to update Windows or installing a new program. Please try the following methods to repair the system.

Method 1: Run the SFC. Follow the below steps:

1. Open Command Prompt.
2. Select “Run as Administrator”.
3. Type “sfc /scannow” without quotes and hit Enter.

Now check for the issue.

Method 2: Run the DISM Tool. If the issue persists, I would have you run the DISM tool to check the system health and will try to restore the files.

1. Click on 'Start'.
2. Enter 'Command prompt' in the Search box.
3. In the list of results, swipe down on or right-click Command prompt, and then tap or click 'Run as administrator'.
4. In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press the Enter key after each command:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

To close the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type Exit, and then press Enter. Note: The tool might take 15-20 minutes to finish running, so please do not cancel it.

Method 3: Type the following in a Windows PowerShell as Administrator:

1.Launch PowerShell

2.Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

3.Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

If all of the methods still not working, you can download and install the patches offline with the following link:
