Thanks.
It corrected the error and allowed updates. I only see this one in event viewer:

Can you please boot into Safe mode and delete the SoftwareDistribution folder?

2025-04-12T11:28:44+00:00 Had this issue with error message 0x800705b4 since January 2025. Following this solution, I have a new error, being 0x80080005.
Looking for the solution on error 0x80080005, it says that I should amongst others delete everything in the folder Windows\SoftwareDistribution. However my labtop doesn't allow me to do so as it says that I do not have the admin rights. This is strange on my own laptop, on which I'm logged in as an administrator.
Grateful, if some one can help me to resolve this so that I can install the updates as I'm still on Windows 11 24H2 Build 26100.2605.

2025-04-10T09:48:43+00:00 Σήμερα 19 Ιανουαρίου 2025. όταν θέλω να ελέγξω για ενημερώσεις (με το κουμπί αυτόματων ενημερώσεων στη θέση ON), οι ενημερώσεις δεν εγκαθίστανται. Λέει ως εξής:
Υπήρξαν ορισμένα προβλήματα κατά την εγκατάσταση ενημερώσεων, αλλά θα προσπαθήσουμε ξανά. Εάν το διατηρήσετε αυτό και θέλετε να κάνετε αναζήτηση στο web ή να επικοινωνήσετε με την υποστήριξη για πληροφορίες, αυτό μπορεί να σας βοηθήσει: 0x800705b4
Ευγνώμων, αν κάποιος μπορεί να με βοηθήσει να επιλύσω αυτό το πρόβλημα, ώστε να μπορώ να εγκαταστήσω τις ενημερώσεις
Ευχαριστώ
