Windows Update Error 0x80070005 Following Activation Work-Around

Hi Everyone

Apologies for not including any Log files at this stage, but I would appreciate your thoughts on the following:

I've just installed Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium on a new SSD for my aged Acer Aspire 5920G. Following installation, many updates, including SP1 were automatically added through Windows update.
I then came to Activating, and when it was refused, suddenly realised and remembered (after all these years) that I had in fact purchased a retail version of the Upgrade, and had originally installed it over the top of Vista.

After searching Seven Forums I found and used the work-around binary file, provided on these forums for such a situation. With this I successfully Activated.

After continuing to install s/w and generally set things up, I realised that Windows update was no longer running. I manually set it going, and it has just continued to search for updates for hours without anything else happening. Further investigation using the MS Fixit tool revealed the Error code 0x8007005, (Access Denied, as I've since found out).

I've tried every fix I can find, including SFC Scannow and SubInAcl, without any joy.

Am I correct to assume this has been caused by my clean install of an upgrade version? Can anyone suggest a remedy without me having to start again with a new full copy of Windows 7?

Thanks for any thoughts/suggestions.

Thank you for the suggestion Ranger4. Yes, that is the Activation work around, described in the title that I followed, using option 3 in the tutorial.

Have also followed intstructions for Windows Update posts:
1. SURT: Opens small window "Windows Update Standalone Installer". Starts "Searching For Updates on this Computer....."
Has continued like this for 2.5 hours without result.

2. SFC Scannow: Result: "Did not find any integrity violations"

3. Windows Update not finding any updates, so no update failures.

4. Log Collection: Attached

Hope this helps you to help me!

Thanks a lot

Hi Torchwood

Thanks for suggestion, but Service Pack 1 (KB976932) was installed automatically the day before I activated the new installation.

Installed Updates list is as follows:
28/12/15: KB958488.
30/12/15: KB3004469, KB2534366, KB2562937, KB2977759, KB3046480, KB2533552.
02/01/16: KB976902, KB976932 (Service Pack 1)

Win 7 Installation date was 28/12/15
I activated the installation late on 03/01/16, so don't know if there was an issue prior to this, preventing updates (so nothing to do with Activating) or if following the Activation.

I've just purchased a full retail version of Win 7 Home Premium. Does anybody think that changing the product key to this one and re-activating will solve my problem?

Thanks

Hi
Ran sfc/scannow again this morning and has now detected something. Have run 3x, and each time get "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them". CBS folder attached. Thanks.

Also when running MS Fix It result shows "Windows Update Error 0x8007003". I've read what I can find on here and elsewhere. Apparently it means BIT.dll corrupted, so perhaps that is what Scannow is now finding? It won't allow me to open CBS file, so can't view it. Any thoughts on what I should do now please?
