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.

I have an error Code 80004002 doing "Check for Updates of Windows.
original title: I have an error Code 80004002 doing "Check for Updates of Windows. Any suggestions? Fred Naden
I click on "Check for Updates of Windows" and the message is 'Windows could not search for new updates' & ' an error occurred when the new updates
for your computer"and" error (s) found: Code 80004002 Windows Update encountered an unknown error ".". "
Hi Fred,.
To read the file CBS, the simplest method is to copy to another destination. Windows 'locks' the file as any event that must be written to the file CBS is done so during the normal process of Windows and if you play the file, it could cause a conflict. After copying the file to another location, it will open without any other change to the authorisation.
Regarding damaged/corrupted files try to find who they are and then check to see if they can be repaired manually.

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...

I have a Compaq Presario SR5410F computer with a large screen Hp w2207h with windows home premium and service pack 2. The computer is about 1 year and 3 months. About 6 months ago, I have an update of windows for my monitor and it failed several times when I tried to install it. I got ahold of someone at microsoft but never got an answer to my problem. The person finally told me to hide the update so it wouldn't keep trying to install. Now I have another update to my monitor and it will not be installed. All other updates installed fine. When I try to install, I get failed and the 80070005 error code.
Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem? Sure would appreciate it.The post directly above it, the journal of Kateyes, has the following questions:
1 looks like there is a proxy or some sort of 'intermediary' between the Windows Update software and internet. Usually, it is a kind of dial-up, or download accelerator software or maybe internet software such as content filtering (parental control). If you have any of these please disable and try again.
2. you may have a proxy configured incorrectly. Open Internet Explorer and click on Tools / Internet Options / Connections / LAN Settings button. Here, uncheck the "Use a Proxy Server" if it is checked. Otherwise, uncheck the box for "Automatically detect proxy settings" and close IE and try again.
3. the problem could be another connectivity type of questions, please try the suggestions in this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836941 - make this one article first, very good on this type of error
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/Windows-Update-error-80072efdI hope this helps. The question is purely related connectivity, so something related to the internet connection does not work correctly. It probably isn't and issue with your ISP, but more with the settings of Windows or other applications installed on your computer that are at the origin of the conflict. If you find my answer was what you're looking for, remember to click on the box "mark as answer" below!
