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.

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.
