The error code “0x80070005” is also known as the “ACCESS DENIED” error. It normally happens when you don’t have enough file or registry permissions that are required to install an update. Because installing an update modifies the operating system or creates global changes to the system, administrative privileges are required.

If you are the administrator of the computer or you are using an administrator account and you encounter this problem when installing a Windows Update, you need to scan your computer for any sign of infection after fixing the problem. This is because file or registry permissions may be modified by malware. To fix the problem, try installing the update again.

If the problem continues, download the SubInACL Tool and install it. Once installed, start Notepad then copy and paste the following to Notepad:
