I get error # 80070005 whenever I try to update Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for the past month and a half. It tells me Windows cannot search for updates. I have tried to use System Restore, but it keeps failing..

    Maybe read through this thread from Microsoft Answers, and see if something works out for you. Seems like a common error, so there are a couple of answers already.

  • Does it happen for all the updates or some specific ones ? Have you checked windowsupdate.log ?
