I have the inability to run Windows Update. I get this error: Code 80070005
I have the inability to run Windows Update. I get this message: Windows could not search for updates. An error occurred when the new updates for your computer. Error: Code 80070005 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.
I tried a few patches, but they do not work. Including those of ACCESS DENIED. And another by Kim.
What's next?
Hello
- Have what troubleshooting measures you tried?
Error code 80070005 means generally that you're not quite allowed to install updates. Access may be denied if you have logged on to the computer as a standard user and this account does not have permission to install updates.
To resolve the problem follow the steps that are listed in the methods below in the order listed, starting with method 1.
Method 1:
Log the computer as an administrator or as a user with administrative rights.
Method 2:
One of the most common causes of this error code (access denied) is the Anti Virus and Anti Spyware software running on the computer. You can try to disable them, and then try the updates again.
Note: Runs the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; don't forget to activate the security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after you have identified the problem.
Method 3:
Try to reset your default security settings.
Reference:

Method 4:

Hi halecky6,
Welcome to the Microsoft answers site!
(a) update you are trying to install? (It would be better, if you can provide the number of KB)
(b) are the other updates related to Windows from installing on your computer?
I suggest you try the following steps:
Step 1: Disable the software security and then try to install the update
Note: Activate security software once the test is completed.
Step 2: Download and install the update in the clean boot state
To perform a clean boot on a computer that is running Windows Vista, follow these steps.
1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
5. click on OK.
6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
After starting the computer, download the update manually and try to install it.

Note: Return the computer to normal - reset the computer to start as usual (follow step 7 in the link) once everything is done.

A security update (KB2584146) has been installed. After installation, it shows properly "installed". Yet, whenever I have re-boot or run Micrsoft update, it offers this update again. It shows also 'successful' in the history of my Microsaoft update. Win XP SP3 (Build 2600).
It's an old update. Wonder why you just get it now.
First try this...
Click Start > run > type chkdsk/r > press OK or press the Enter key. A cmd window will appear telling you that the volume is in use and you want to plan its next reboot. Type y and press ENTER. Then restart.
Try to install the update and check that it installed properly by doing another analysis of Windows Update.If this does not do...
Download the update manually, on your desktop to the http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28608.
Click Start > run > Browse. In the Browse dialog box, double-click WindowsXP-KB2584146 - x 86 - ENU.exe. The box open term should have the path now. Add a space and an x at the end.
Press OK or press the Enter key.
You will get a dialog box with the path to your desktop already filled.
After Office add a slash and the name of the folder so that we end up with something like C:\Documents and Settings\\Desktop\KB2584146.
Go to this folder, and then in the SP3GDR folder.
You can see packager.exe.
Right-click to copy.
In the box to run, type dllcache, then press on enter.
Paste the file in there, replacing the one already there.
In the run box, type system32, then press on enter.
Paste the file there too by crushing the already there.
Is there a lot of folder there. Make sure you do not paste in a subfolder. You want to the root of system32.Go to Windows Update and confirm that it no longer wants to install.
