Can not search for new updates, error Code 80070005
When I search the updates, I get an error message indicating that Windows could not search for new updates. Error code 80070005. Windows Update has encountered an unknown error. I tried all the suggestions of troubleshooting the problem, but nothing has worked. I am very frustrated and tired of dealing with this problem. If there is a problem with updates that Microsoft sends then they should correct this problem. I have four computers in my house and I'll only have this problem with the computer that has Windows Vista. Help, please!
See the link below, Tim Quan has provided the resolution of this problem.

Hello
One of the reasons for the error 80070005 is caused by software running on your computer security.
Temporarily disable the security software on the computer and see if that makes a difference.

Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished.

Windows update error code 80070005 when checking for updates
I was getting updated with no problems on a clean install of Windows 7 Pro x 86. After I installed MS Office 2007 Pro and other software. I clicked on search for updates and I get the red box error "windows can not find the new updates" error found Code 80070005 I am logged in as a user with Admin Access. I disabled Norton AntiVirus... When I click view update history, it is empty, even though I've updated several times.
Hi Willaton,
The 80070005 error means usually you do not have permission appropriate to run the update.
You could disable your anti-virue and malware/spyware protection temporarily to see if they are in conflict with the update installation program.
If this does not work, I suggest you log in to the account administrators integrated and update from there. To connect to the administrator account
1. Click Start, right click on computer, then click on manage.
2. expand local users and groups, and then click the users folder.
3. right click on the connection of the administrator, and then click Properties, then remove that checking the account is disabled.
You can now restart the computer and log on to the administrator account and try the update again.
Hope this information is useful.

Windows could not search for new updates - error Code 80070005, please can someone help?
I get the message above for about 6 months, really since I tried to install updates including IE9, it went to the wall. It seems that the history of all my previous updates have the problem dissappeared also.
I searched in different forums and tried several solutions but no evail, but some people do not seem to have been lucky enough to rectify the issue even if I do not deliver hope immediately.
I am running Vista Home Premium on a Dell Inspiron 1720, but I don't have any software recovery to help me as far as I know that I'm running as the administrator should therefore not be permissions issues, but please also no matter what advice would be welcome.
If everything fails to buy Vista or a version?
Thank you for any assistance.

Monitor HP updates fail with the error code 80070005
I get a message that not load my updates of the screen. This has been a problem going on since
the purchase of this pc and installation of the monitor.
In addition, I can't run my Bernina on Vista software. Do I need to buy special software to do this?

You can try the following:If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
Use the following steps:
(1) right click on the program
2) click Properties
3) click on the Compatibility tab
(4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

error code 80070005 Windows Update running
Original title: error code 80070005.

Thank you
Hey gordont,
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.
Method 3:
Try to reset your default security settings.
Reference:
How to restore the security settings the default settings?
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/313222
Method 4:
Reset Windows Update components.
See:
How to reset the Windows Update components?
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058
This should be it.
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.

Error code 80070005 when trying to update Windows using Windows 7 Home Premium
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium, upgrade from Vista on a Sony Vaio VGN-FW350D. The upgrade was promotional as part of the purchase of the laptop in the Canada.
I had no other pressing issues which have not been resolved. IHAVE run the built-in Windows based Registry Cleaner (like a cleaner 'free') and the dreagmenter of disk as part of the troubleshooting process.
I have tried everything I can find on the setting of the following problem:
When trying to update Windows (ie. Download updates of security or Microsoft security patches, etc.), the following is displayed: "Windows could not search for new updates - an error occurred when searching for new updates for your...» Code 80070005. It gives you the 'Try Again' button, but who does not work either.
Also, after running in a Fixit 'Microsoft' by default and aggressive modes, change my registration to God knows what state by applying other methods proposed CIHI, now when I try an update of Windows, the "last check for updates '"and updates have been installed"the both indicate '' never. '' BTW, I have the restore points before you make these changes, so no worries there.
I would like to point out that, as far as I know, this problem has persisted since January 1, 2011, when I downloaded and installed Microsoft Security Essentials, which would not update or another. Before installing MS Security Essentials, I ran Avast, I have re-installed after removing Ms Sec Ess.
In short, Windows update does not work, giving Code 80070005. Can anyone help solve this problem with me? Thank you...
