I'm at my wits end with this issue... I heard the news of a big Win10 update hitting soon and I wanted to check if I had it already. To my surprise, my system last update was the 6th of October... odd. I'm using Windows 10 Pro x64.
When I try to search for updates, after a long while this is what I get:
Error 0x80080005! I've looked what that means and it's something related to Windows unable to access some files, but I don't know what files. The same happens when using the Windows Store, I can't install anything and I just realized that because I never use the Store.
Next I checked the status of the Windows Update service and it was stopped, when trying to start it from services.msc, I get the error "0x80070002 specified files couldn't be found".
If I try to run net start wuauserv
all I get is that the service couldn't start, System Error, System Error 2 and that the specified files couldn't be found.
I also tried the solution given in this post with no success.
I don't know what else could I try, please help me. :(
