Today Jan 19, 2025. when I want to check for updates ( with automatic updates button ON position), updates are not installing. It says as under:

There were some problems in installing updates, but we will try again. If you keep this and want to search web or contact support for information this may help: 0x800705b4

Grateful, if some one can help me to resolve this so that I can installed the updates

Thank you

    This worked for me! I couldn't use most of the other suggestions as I'm on a corporate Dell laptop without admin privileges, and with other problems in the past (Bluetooth connected but no sound output), the internet was more helpful than our help desk.

    Error code was 0x800705b4

    Windows build is 26100.3775

    I attempted with new driver from HP site, same result.

    If your printer works fine, you may simply hide that update using the WuShowHide.diagcab tool from Microsoft.

    https://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f22d5fdb-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcab

    If Edge/Chrome blocks the download because of "insecure" link (HTTP vs HTTPS), go ahead and choose the Keep anyway option.
