    Hi Duy Nguyễn,

    You could try the following>

    1. 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 /q
    
    

    then try again
    Reset Windows Update components

    Corrupted 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 msiserver
    
    

    try again

    Repair servicing stack + component store (DISM/SFC)

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    sfc /scannow
    
    

    try again

    Check TrustedInstaller & SYSTEM permissions

    icacls C:\Windows
    
    

    list the output here
