| | Windows 7 update error code 80080005 I kept getting the error code 80080005 when my computer tried to update. I tried what Noel said to do in another post and it did not work, but it did have my computer alert me of updates that needed installing. Once installed I started the update windows again and it is now been searching for updates for over 20 minutes. I tried closing and restarting but it does not stop searching. How do I fix this?  |

| | This can be a Winsock problem..... Open an Elevated Command Prompt window, and run the following command NETSH WINSOCK RESET you'll be advised to reboot - do so, and try again. |
