I'm running Windows Vista Premium and i've been automatically updating since
I've gotten the computer in like February and just last week, i get the
notification saying windows could not search for updates, so I clicked check
for updates and i got the same message with error(s) found code 80070005, I
tried some of the suggestions below and none of them worked.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Not much for the old "access denied" code - but -

Suggestion from MS -

Install/reinstall Windows Update Client

http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x64.exe


The above URL is for 64-bit version or the 32-bit version

http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x86.exe

Please see if installing the 3.0 client resolves the problem.

No guarantees.

Hi.

I am having the same problem regarding the Windows Update and error
code 80070005. I am currenly on the phone with the phone number for
help that was provided (Microsoft Product Support Services at
1-866-PCSAFETY), but don't know how much longer I am going to wait for
someone to answer. I did not do any of the reinstall links as listed
because they say to uninstall any virus programs before doing it. I
don't want to uninstall the virus program I have so I am not going to
do this suggestion: Install/reinstall Windows Update Client


If I get this error code, does that mean that my Windows Vista is not
actually looking for updates and updating?

I am battling with the same error 80070005 and unrecoverable error if I try to re-install Windows Update. Has anyone had a satisfactory fix from Microsoft yet?

Also note from the Windows Update log file it appears to be stuck on what some people are calling a stealth update to Windows Update itself:-

SelfUpdate handler update required: Current version: 7.0.6000.374, required version: 7.0.6000.381

Call me paranoid if you will but maybe this is why I can't find anyone that can fix it yet other than people suggesting re-install of Vista or suggesting fixes that used to work on older OS.

Help Please.

I have the exact same problem with Vista Ultimate. Windows Update returns an
80070005 error. Clicking on the Get Help link returns 23 possible fixes which
all are different and haven't done anything except delete my Windows Update
History. I feel like I'm sliding down a slippery slope here. This all started
10/09/2007. I am nothing going down the re-install road for a while. As I
have a 1TB system and need to off load a lot of data before doing a
scratch/install of Vista. We shouldn't have to re-install the operating
system as a solution.

No guarantees but see if installing/reinstalling the latest WU Client helps.

That didn't work. During install I get the following error: "Windows Update
Agent Installer encountered unrecoverable error".
