The error code 80070005 usually means that you do not have enough permission to install updates.

First please confirm you have logged on an account with administrative privileges.

If the issue still occurs, lets’ try the following method to reset the permissions:

1. Download the subinacl.msi file from the following link and save the installation patch onto the Desktop:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe-4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en#AffinityDownloads

Go to the Desktop and double click the downloaded file.
Select the C:\Windows\System32 folder as the Destination Folder during the installation. Later we will use this tool to reset the permission settings on the current machine.

**Note:**If the UAC (User Account Control) window is prompted for permission to continue, please click Continue.

Click Start, in the Start Search bar, type: "notepad" (without quotes) and press Enter.
Copy the following commands and then paste them into the open Notepad window:

@echo off

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f

subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=system=f

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=system=f

subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=system=f

subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=system=f

@Echo =========================

@Echo Finished.

@Echo =========================

@pause

After pasting the above commands, please close the Notepad window. Choose Save when you are prompted to save the file. Type "reset.bat" as the file name and choose Desktop from the left panel as the save location.
Refer to the Desktop and right click the reset.bat file, and then choose "Run as administrator."
You will see a DOS-like window processing.

**Note:**It may take several minutes. Please be patient. When it is completed, you will be prompted with the message: "Finished, press any key to continue".

Try to install the updates again.

This issue can be also caused by third-party security programs such as firewalls and anti-virus software. You can disable or remove them to check the issue.

Let us know how is goes.

Hello Shedrich:

I am having the exact same error messages that wooddog has listed above:

Please help. I am not sure what caused this problem to begin but it seemed to start when I opted to install some optional updates, one of which was a driver for my HP w1907 monitor, which I noticed above that someone else seems to have posted in this thread having some issues with as well. My display is currently working fine but I'm thinking this may be involved in some way with the problem. I get the error 80070005 every time I tried to install the driver. In addition, if I restart my system it tells me I need to install my display driver every time which it never did before today and has become a nuisance that I can't seem to stop. Thank you very much.
