You could try the following>
- Reset WinSxS + SoftwareDistribution ACLs
Microsoft explicitly lists this as the primary fix for 0x80070005.
Run in elevated CMD:
icacls "%windir%\WinSxS" /reset /t /c /q icacls "%windir%\SoftwareDistribution" /reset /t /c /qthen try again
Reset Windows Update componentsCorrupted cache or locked files are a common trigger
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 msiservertry again
Repair servicing stack + component store (DISM/SFC)
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth sfc /scannowtry again
Check TrustedInstaller & SYSTEM permissions
icacls C:\Windowslist the output here
