Windows Update error Code 80070005 - unable to check updates

original title: Windows Update 80070005 error Code

When I start my computer I get a message at the bottom right, saying "Windows cannot check for updates. When I go to Windows Update and click on "check for updates" I get error Code 80070005 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.   I read some of the threads here, but I can't have things work as they should be.  For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated!

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.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

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. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • 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...

    Hello

    Error code 80070005 means generally that you're not quite allowed to install updates.

    If the problem persists, follow the steps mentioned below and the Coachman.

    Step 1:

    All first please confirm that you have logged on to an account with administrative privileges.

    To connect to the administrator account

    a. Click Start, right click on computer, then click on manage.

    b. expand local users and groups, and then click the users folder.

    c. right-click on the connection of the administrator, and then click Properties, and then remove that checking the account is disabled.

    Now, restart the computer and log on to the administrator account and try to update again.
