Windows Update error 80080005

The Installer service is stopping and starting every couple of minutes, it looks as if it's because TrustedInstaller is crashing because of permissions problems.

Code:

Have you installed Windows to the E:drive?
If not, then there's something seriously amiss, somewhere! (or I'm reading the report wrong )

That's a pity - because it makes repair operations much more complex (it's not easy to get a repair install to work under another drive letter!)

I've had another look at your event logs - and I can see nothing else in them than the errors posted above
I really have no ideas about this problem at the moment.

However, there may be a way forward if we're lucky...


I've uploaded a file - blbaa.zip - to my OneDrive at Noel's OneDrive
Please download and save it.

Right-click on the saved file and select Extract all...
Change the target to C:\ and click on Extract
Close all windows (it would be a good idea to print these instructions!)

Now reboot to the Repair Environment - as soon as the machine restarts, start tapping F8 - this should bring up the Advanced Boot Menu, at the top of which should be the option 'Repair my Computer'
Pick that
You'll have to log in with your username and password.

Pick the option to use a Command Prompt
At the prompt type
DIR C:\blbaa
hit the enter key - if you get a 'Not Found' error try
DIR D:\blbaa
or
DIR E:\blbaa



The drive letter in use when you find the folder will need to be substituted (for<drive>) into the following command...



XCOPY <drive>:\blbaa <drive>:\windows\winsxs /y /i /s /v /h



(e.g. XCOPY P:\wfire P:\windows\winsxs /y /i /s /v /h )



run the command (it should take almost no time) and when the prompt returns, type
EXIT
and hit the Enter key to exit Command Prompt - reboot to Normal Mode Windows.

Now run SFC /SCANNOW in an Elevated Command Prompt
then reboot and upload the new CBS.log file to your reply
