• Difficulty for the Windows Update 80070002 error code

  Can someone help with the 80070002 error?

  I had Windows Update set to auto, and one day he's come until he could not update and gave the above error code.

  I tried all the answers currently on this forum (and others) without success.  I tried;

  1. Deleting files from the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder - but it has nothing
  2. Opening of cmd, but when I type "ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SDTemp" tells me access denied.
  3. I downloaded system preparation tool, but it is too irrelevant.
  I am too short as an administrator.  Do not understand why these things do not work.  Help someone?
  Thnaks in advance.
