I have tried to find on google an answer to this error (0x80070006) on windows update. But nothing is working for me.
I have tried following
Windows 10 update troubleshooter all ok.
net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
Then I deleted the files in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution
net start wuauserv
net start bits
I have scanned integrity of the operating system and no faults found.
Help.....
You can contact live support here:

It looks like that's not your exact error, but let's try some basics:
From an admin command prompt
[Windows key + X, click command prompt (admin)]
chkdsk C: /F
Your PC will need to restart.
Make sure the result is clear or fixed- else do not proceed.
Post back the result, which you can get after a restart as follows:
Which update were you trying to install?
(Or what's the last update you received- see Update History)
Have a look in the News section for news about the failed update.
Noted your current build is 10.0.14393.103
Noted (I think) you say you have run sfc /scannow successfully.
Ok I can install update trough the windows mini tool. Last update trough windows update was 9.9-16. Yes did sfc/scannow and nothing came up. Its not trying to install anything . Only there is there. In installed updates there is no update with with that date. Ill try chdsk and what comes out of it.
So chdsk took to about 20sek to 100% and nothing happened after that so I rebooted the comp.

Something went wrong there. chkdsk cannot run on your system partition when you are logged in and using Windows. You should get a message that the system restarts. Chkdsk then runs after startup.
Did you
a. run it from an admin command prompt?
b. run it on the correct disk/partition?
I don't want the date. Different people get the same update at widely different dates.Last update trough windows update was 9.9-16.
So--- let's try it a different way. Please post a screenshot of Update History like this::
You can edit a post rather than creating a string of individual posts..
No I did restart the computer for the chdsk to work and I was not logged in. I cleaned the update history already with this
net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
Then I deleted the files in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution
net start wuauserv
net start bits
So it will only show those that I did with the mini tool.
You can try:
Settings, search for Troubleshooting, click Troubleshooting
In the Window that opens click
Fix problems with Windows Update
at the bottom.
Please post back the outcome.
Also make sure you're not set to use a metered connection,
and try checking this:
Choose how updates are delivered is Off in Settings, Updates, Advanced Options
There is a Windows Updates reset script here:
Windows Update - Reset in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
and here:
Reset Windows updates - Microsoft Community
So í used both reset scripts and they did not help. I have run the the troubles shooter many times but this is the first time it gave the following.

This was the date I was talking about.
But I have done already with the mini tool so.
Because I cant find a solution to this I will continue to use the tool, at least that works.
