here were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80080005).

This is the error I get every time for a few days.

I tried troubleshooting but it didn't work. 

Many have said in other queries(for the same problem) to Reset SoftwareDistribution & Catroot2 folders. But I'm scared to do that because I'm worried if something happens to my laptop.

Please suggest a way to solve this issue.

Below attached is the screenshot of the issue.

Kindly help,

Thank you.

This is a frequent issue sometimes caused by driver compatibility errors: Windows 10 Update Assistant (microsoft.com)

You could try downloading the Windows Update Assistant. It can help bump your version of windows past this sort of update error to the latest version.

Choose the 1st option for the update assistant: Download Windows 10 (microsoft.com)

    These fixes did not work.  I have tried so many different things found online and NOTHING is working.  I've even gone through the long hassle of updating Windows through the process of reinstalling (through the UPDATE NOW option) and that didn't help, either.  I'm at my wits end.  I'm so sick and tired of Windows 10 not working as it should and the fix not being easy.  I do not want to reinstall Windows and then have to reinstall every program.  I need a real fix for this.  I believe it is also causing a problem with the MS Store that won't allow me to install a purchased app.
