Facing Error 0x80070005 Windows 7 During Update
It occurs when some registry permissions or file is missing.
Login as administrator

If the above method doesn’t solve the error:–
Scan the system for antivirus and malware; it is possible that some virus or malware is deleting or making changes in the file or registry permission.
Facing Error 0x80070005 Windows 7 During Update
The error code “0x80070005” is known also as “Access Denied.” This normally happens if you don’t have file or registry permission to install the update. To fix the problem, download the SubInACL Tool and install it. Once installed, launch Notepad then copy and paste the following:
@echo off
setlocal
echo.
echo Determine whether we are on an 32 or 64 bit machine
echo.
if “%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%”==”x86” if “%PROCESSOR_ARCHITEW6432%”==”” goto x86
set ProgramFilesPath=%ProgramFiles(x86)%
goto startResetting
:x86
set ProgramFilesPath=%ProgramFiles%
:startResetting
echo.
if exist “%ProgramFilesPath%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\subinacl.exe” goto filesExist
echo ***ERROR*** – Could not find file %ProgramFilesPath%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\subinacl.exe. Double-check that SubInAcl is correctly installed and re-run this script.
goto END
:filesExist
pushd “%ProgramFilesPath%\Windows Resource Kits\Tools”
subinacl.exe /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl.exe /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl.exe /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl.exe /subdirectories %windir% /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
echo FINISHED.
echo.
echo Press any key to exit . . .
pause >NUL
popd
:END
endlocal
Save the file as “reset.cmd” then open Windows Explorer and right-click the file and select “Run as administrator.” Wait until the process is complete and then try installing the Windows Update again and see if it works.
