Alright, I'm getting annoyed so I decided to make a thread on this. So I keep getting this message every time I try to install updates on my computer:

Error: Code 80070005 Windows Update encountered an unknown error.

I used Google to see if I could fix it on my own but the only info I found for this was to log in as an administrator. The annoying thing is that there are two accounts on this computer and they're both admins. Anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?

I've looked online and it says that the error code you get is because you don't have the permission to access a certain file. Are you an Administrator?

I already mentioned that in my first post. xd
The answer is yes lol. I even clicked "Run as Administrator" when I run Windows Update.

I just had to make sure. xd

I've never had this type of problem before. It's safer if you contacted Microsoft for help. The error you get seems to be about access rights.

Sorry for not fixing your problem. :eek: :)

go to to C:Windows\Software Distribution and change the file permissions which are set at Read Only.

Just to double check you want me to:

C:Windows\Software Distribution --> Properties --> Security tab --> Edit --> Give all groups/usernames full permission (my account, SYSTEM, and TrustedInstaller)

@ReapTermin Its cool. At least you tried. :p

Apparently my account and SYSTEM already had full permissions, it was just TrustedInstaller that I needed to change. After I applied the changes, I attempted to install the updates again but it still failed. I'm getting the exact same error.

I even ran scan for viruses, malware, etc. and nothing.

Why would I uninstall Windows 7 to Vista? :confused:

i prefer vista, its better

have u tried this..

1. Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy
2. Navigate to Security\Local Policies\Security Options
a. Network Access: Let everyone permissions apply to anonymous users - Set to Enabled
c. DCOM: Machine Access Restrictions - Add Anonymous, Everyone, Interactive, Network, System with full rights options set.
d. Network Access: Let everyone permissions apply to anonymous users - Set to Enabled
e. Network Access: Sharing security model for local accounts - Set to Classic

The "Sharing Security model" is the real offending item I believe, and setting the above should fix the problem. If not then I went as far as setting the following in DCOMCNFG.

DCOM Configuration

1. Click Start -> Run
2. Enter DCOMCNFG and press OK. This will open the DCOMCNFG window.
3. Browse down the tree to Console Root -> Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer
4. right-click on "My Computer" and select properties
5. Select the "Default Properties" tab
a. Enable Distributed COM on this computer - Option is checked
b. Default Authentication Level - Set to Connect
c. Default Impersonation Level - Set to Identify
6. Select the "COM Security" tab
7. Click on Access Permissions ' Edit Default
a. Add "Anonymous", "Everyone", "Interactive", "Network", "System" with Local and Remote access permissions set.
8. Click on Launch and Activation Permissions ' Edit Default
a. Add "Anonymous", "Everyone", "Interactive", "Network", "System" with Local and Remote access permissions set.
9. Click on OK
10. Close the DCOMCNFG window


restart computer and try the update again
