    Windows Update stuck at checking for updates


    I have let the Windows Update running for more than 24 hours and still nothing to show to download the files from Windows Update for my desktop. I did ran through one program trying to fix Windows Update and got one problem. Here is below:

    Windows Update error 0x80080005 ( 2016-11-07 - T_12_04_56P ) not fixed.

    I am not sure what is that and won't be able to fix this problem.

    Any idea to fix this problem so I will be able to run Windows Update.

    Thank you,

    John
