    Description

    The error occurs when you attempt to install Windows updates. When you try to click on check for updates in Windows Update with administrator privileges you cannot install updates and instead you receive error code 80070005.

    Step-by-step instruction

    Error code 80070005 is caused by a number of factors some of which include an error in the DCOM configuration or the Automatic Updates service. You can begin to solve the problem by seeking verification for the DCOM configuration. To do this simply click on Start on your main toolbar on the desktop and then choose Run from the pop-up menu. When the Command Prompt appears type in dcomcnfgand then press the Enterkey. When the Component Services window opens double click on the Component Services folder and then double click on the Computers folder. Right click on My Computer and then choose Properties from the drop down menu. When the Properties window opens click on the COM Security tab and then click on Edit Default and then check to see that the correct accounts are listed

    In the event that one of your accounts is missing you can simply click on Add and then choose Advanced. Click on Locations and then choose Local Computer Name and then choose OK. Proceed to click on Find Now and then press down the CTRL key on your keyboard. Choose the correct Account Names and click OK twice.Under User Names choose the account that you added and then choose Local Access in the Permissions area and then place a check mark in the Allow column and then click OK.

    Once you complete this process it is necessary to confirm the default settings for DCOM. You can do this by choosing the Default Propertiestab and make sure Enable Distributed COM has a check mark placed inside the selection box,Identifyis checked under Default Impersonation, and Connect has a check mark under Default Authentication and then click OK. Restart your computer when you have completed this process.

    I just finished wasting another 2 hours trying this again. Unbelievable that anyone should have to go through this. Just reporting that the dcomcnfg thing did NOT work. Got the exact same error message.

    I don't get it: where is MS in all this? If it has to do with too many ppl downloading, then why would they release it to everyone at the same time? An error code that no one seems to have an answer to, or if you get lucky, a random answer that works.

    Same thing here with the Windows 10 checking,downloading installing up to whatever 99% then 80070005.
    After 3x and a couple different approaches I usually say screw it, but 10 or more ....I am .obsessed.
    No real answer anywhere..well so far...there is a lot of maybes.
    And the great media creation tool job is downloaded and wasting 18.7mb on my drive but won't do anything.

    The good new is I did get some new drivers apparently from the 10 package that WIN7 didn't think I needed.
    Wireless,ethernet and NVidia. The wireless I had to go to device manager and update driver from there. The PCI gbe host controller(whatever it was called for ethernet network) I had to uninstall, then use windows update.
    Both failed previously during the windows update with 80070103.
    NVidia worked through Win update. After those three I tried WIN10 again and lost again.
    I am happy with windows 7 but just want the thrill of a new operating system.
    I'll come back tomorrow after the morning coffee and try the 8007005 error code resolution>cough:cough<...posted above.


    Couldn't wait.... whatever that was supposed to do....everything looked spot on.

    That means I hid the Windows 10 update....nothing has worked.
    I just wanted to post here because it is the exact symptoms I am having.
    Wish I had an answer to share.
