Error with code 0x80070005 (Windows 7). How to fix?

As you know, the service of automatic installation of updates in Windows-systems, starting with the seventh version, often fails. Among the most common errors can be called the appearance of a message with the code 0x80070005 (Windows 7). How to fix this situation, now and see. Immediately notice that this problem is typical not only for the "seven". Equally, it can make itself felt in the eighth and the tenth versions.

Windows Update Error 0x80070005. Windows 7: The causes of the failure

It is believed that in order to determine the means of eliminating the disease, you need to know the root causes of its appearance. Error "Update Center" Windows 0x80070005 (Windows 7 take as an example, no more) can occur only in cases where the system can not access some system files and components, or the user does not have the necessary access rights.

The most common situations where the system issues a warning that access to a specific object is denied is the following:

• Attempt to download and install updates;
• Failure to activate Windows;
• System Restore.

As you can see, the main emphasis is on the inability to access files and OS components. It would seem, what is easier to use the Administrator account? But no. The problem, despite its seeming simplicity, is much deeper. And one of the most unpleasant situations is the one at which error 0x80070005 (Windows 7) occurs. How to fix this failure, now and see. True, in this case, standard methods may not work, so you will have to strain your brains.

Automatic parameter adjustment

The first way to fix the problem is to use automatic fault fix. It's about checking the integrity of system components.

To start, we call the command line, having registered in the console "Run" (Win + R) cmd (necessarily on behalf of the admin). Then we enter three commands, allowing at the first stage to solve the problem in the automatic mode by means of the system itself. First, write the command sfc / scannow, and then - two more: dism / online / cleanup-image / scanhealth and dism / online / cleanup-image / restorehealth. The probability of correcting the situation is quite high, although in some cases this may not work (if the integrity of the system components is not violated).

Windows Update Error 0x80070005. Windows 7: How to fix a crash using the SubInACL tool?

One of the most versatile tools many professionals and users call a small utility that can be downloaded on the official Microsoft website in the form of an executable installation file SubInACL.exe.

To install the program into the system, you need to follow strictly defined rules, because if the installation is incorrect, the error code 0x80070005 (Windows 7) may appear again. How to fix the error in this way?

First, run the downloaded installer with admin rights and as the destination folder, specify the directory located at the root of the system partition of the disk (for example, C: / subinacl). It is an accompanying component for the execution of scenarios, and not a means of eliminating the problem.

After that, the most difficult begins. In the standard "Notepad" you need to write the code that you see in the picture below.

The created file must be saved in executable BAT format in any convenient location. Then right-click on the object to call the submenu and select the launch as Administrator. When the script runs out, "Gotovo" appears on the console screen. Next, you just need to press any key to exit, restart the computer and repeat the operation that caused the failure of 0x80070005 (Windows 7). How to fix the situation, it is understandable. But in some cases, the script may not work. Not to mention the reasons, we note that you can apply other scripts, one of which is shown below.

However, according to experienced users, the execution of this scenario can lead to the inoperability of the entire system, so it should be used only at your own peril and risk.

Correcting an error while trying to restore the system

It also happens that restoring the system at a certain stage entails the error 0x80070005 (Windows 7). How do I fix a restore process failure? First, for an account, you need to check the permissions of the System Volume Information directory (it is hidden, so you must enable the corresponding objects in the view menu). If there is a checkmark in front of the "Read only" option, it should be removed.

In some cases, you can access the system configuration via the msconfig line in the "Run" console, where you can remove all the checkmarks on the general tab and apply either diagnostic or selective start.

Finally, you can try to start the services editor (services.msc) and set the automatic start type for the shadow copy component.

In the very latest version, it is supposed to reset the repository with renaming the initial folder. First, reboot in safe mode and enter net stop winmgmt in the command line, then in the System32 directory of the main directory of the system we find the wbem folder, and in it the repository directory, which should be assigned a different name (just add it to the name Old via the dot).

Then again reboot the system (again in safe mode), use the command line and register the line of the primary stop command. After it, enter winmgmt / resetRepository. After all done, we overload the system in the normal mode. The problem disappears.

Conclusion

As you can already see, this situation is not among those that can be corrected by standard, simple methods. If such an error occurs, you really need to spend a little time and effort to bring the system to life. However, all described actions in most cases help to 100%, not counting the automatic correction of the error, which may not work. If nothing really helps, you need to check the free space on your hard drive. Perhaps, this factor is a deterrent.
