Answer 1

Hi Jatin, this is Kimberly, an independent advisor. I'm glad to assist you today.

The error code 0x80070005 typically means “Access is denied”, and it can occur in various contexts, such as when Excel fails to activate, Windows Update errors, or app installation issues.

Your user account may require elevated privileges to modify certain settings.

Ensure you're using an Administrator account.

Check folder/file permissions: right-click the target file → Properties → Security tab → Edit → grant Full Control to your user or the group "Everyone".

Should you have more questions, please let me know.

Best regards,

Kimberly
