Windows update error (0x80080005)

Hi, Hard Disk Sentinel- simply run it and post a screenshot for each disk drive. Green is good, red is bad. It's that clear. Then there should be text about the expected lifetime, and possibly comments about the state of sectors, cables- whatever's applicable,

Here's my suggestion - if your disk is good, simply do an in-place upgrade repair install which keeps all programs and data and most settings.
This will reset all services and repair your Windows installation.
Windows 10 Help Forums need an iso of the same build and base language as your current installation.(See link in tutorial, or the iso downloader in the 3rd post on Kyhi's boot disk in the thread near the top of the Software and Apps section)

Everything ran good in the Hard disk sentinel setup. I honestly don't know what happend but when I restated it started going to the bios menu. I couldn't even get to the safe mode options or anything. Trying restore would fail as well as any other options that were available. No matter what I tried nothing worked so in the end I ended up just reinstalling windows again. The good news is that windows updates works again and chrome is 30 times faster. ( I was having an issue with the cryptographic services.) Thank you everyone for you're feedback and help. I really like this forum.

Glad it's working again. Before it breaks - (or you accidentally break something

) create your first base disk image using e.g. Macrium Reflect (free). Keep a simple text log of changes, and periodically and before and after a major change, create a differential image (smaller, faster). Create a new base image after an upgrade.
