Rencontrez-vous une erreur de mise à jour Windows 0x80080005? (FIXED)

7. Débranchez tous les périphériques

Tout périphérique externe que vous avez récemment branché sur votre ordinateur peut avoir causé le code d’erreur 0x80080005 en raison de problèmes de compatibilité ou de pilote. Pensez à tout nouveau matériel que vous avez acheté ou reçu en cadeau, comme les clés USB, les adaptateurs Wi-Fi ou les webcams avec des fonctionnalités plug-and-play.

Pour résoudre ce problème, arrêtez votre ordinateur et débranchez tous les périphériques, à l’exception de votre clavier et de votre souris. Ensuite, démarrez le système d’exploitation et exécutez Windows Update pour confirmer que vous n’obtenez plus l’erreur.

Vous avez deux options à ce stade: rebranchez tous les appareils et détachez-les chaque fois que vous avez besoin d’exécuter Windows Update, ou identifiez l’équipement coupable pour le réparer ou cesser de l’utiliser.

8. Lancer un démarrage propre

Un démarrage propre de Windows 10 signifie désactiver tous les composants inutiles susceptibles de provoquer des problèmes logiciels, tels que les pilotes, les services et les processus. Cela peut vous aider à éliminer les problèmes qui entraînent l’erreur Windows Update 0x80080005. Voici ce que vous devez faire:

1. Appuyez sur la touche Windows , recherchez Configuration système et appuyez sur Entrée
2. Passer à l’onglet Services
3. Décochez Masquer tous les services Microsoft et cliquez sur Tout désactiver
4. Quitter Configuration du système
5. Cliquez avec le bouton droit de la souris sur la barre des tâches et sélectionnez Gestionnaire de tâches
6. Passer à l’onglet Démarrage
7. Cliquez sur la colonne État pour trier toutes les applications par état ( Activé en premier)
8. Sélectionnez la première application et cliquez sur Désactiver
9. Effectuez cette opération pour toutes les applications dont l’état est Activé
10. Redémarrez votre PC
11. Essayez d’exécuter Windows Update maintenant

9. Désactivez votre pare-feu

C’est peu probable, mais Windows Update pourrait être bloqué par votre pare-feu. Cela se produit généralement lorsque vous modifiez les paramètres par défaut du pare-feu ou que vous installez une application de pare-feu tierce qui rend cela possible.

Pour rester prudent, vous pouvez désactiver temporairement le pare-feu pour laisser à Windows suffisamment de temps pour installer les mises à jour. Assurez-vous simplement de le redémarrer par la suite. Sinon, vous laisserez votre ordinateur exposé aux logiciels malveillants.

Comment désactiver et réactiver le pare-feu Windows:

1. Connectez-vous à Windows 10 avec des droits d’administration
2. Cliquez sur le bouton Démarrer , recherchez Panneau de configuration et ouvrez cette application
3. Recherchez et cliquez sur Pare-feu Windows Defender
4. Cliquez sur Activer ou désactiver Windows Defender dans le panneau de gauche
5. Sélectionnez Désactiver le pare-feu Windows Defender (non recommandé) dans Paramètres du réseau privé et Paramètres du réseau public
6. Cliquez sur OK pour confirmer
7. Essayez d’exécuter Windows Update
8. Une fois la mise à jour terminée, revenez au Panneau de configuration > Pare-feu Windows Defender
9. Sélectionnez Restaurer les paramètres par défaut sur le côté gauche
10. Cliquez sur Restaurer les paramètres par défaut et Oui pour confirmer

Si vous disposez d’un pare-feu tiers qui prend en charge le pare-feu Windows, adaptez les étapes ci-dessus pour le désactiver temporairement.

10. Désinstaller les logiciels tiers

Dans la solution précédente, nous avons mentionné qu’un pare-feu tiers avec des paramètres incorrects pouvait bloquer Windows Update et, par la suite, déclencher des codes d’erreur tels que 0x80080005. Cependant, il est également possible que l’application de pare-feu soit mal conçue ou ne prenne pas totalement en charge votre édition Windows.

Cela s’applique non seulement aux applications de pare-feu, mais également à tous les programmes ayant accès à Internet. Cela inclut les solutions de sécurité Internet, les services VPN , les navigateurs Web ou les clients torrent.

Si vous avez commencé à rencontrer des erreurs Windows Update juste après avoir ajouté un nouveau logiciel à votre PC, cela pourrait être le coupable. Mais vous devriez pouvoir résoudre ce problème en le désinstallant.

How to uninstall recent software:

1. Right-click the Start button and select Apps and Features
2. In the Apps & features section, set Sort by to Install date (newest first)
3. Pick the first program in the list and click Uninstall
4. Click Uninstall again to confirm and proceed with the wizard steps
5. If you recently installed multiple fishy programs, make sure to remove all of them
6. Reboot your PC and try running Windows Update

The Windows 10 built-in uninstaller is not that effective. If you prefer a more thorough solution that removes not only programs but also any leftover files and registry entries, use a third-party app uninstaller.

11. Uninstall system updates

Not only software applications can cause Windows Update issues but also a faulty system update. It’s not uncommon for Microsoft to push unreliable updates that affect the computers of millions of users. In some cases, this could even lead to error code 0x80080005.

But you can fix it by uninstalling the most recent Windows updates. Voici comment:

1. Press Win key + R, type appwiz.cpl, and press Enter
2. Click View installed updates
3. Click the Installed On column to sort the updates by time (newest first)
4. Double-click the first entry in the Microsoft Windows category
5. Click Yes to confirm and proceed with the removal
6. Restart your PC and try to run Windows Update now
7. If Windows Update works now, make sure to avoid installing the same update that was giving you trouble

12. Check the disk space

If there isn’t enough free disk space on your computer, Windows Update might not be able to carry out its activities, like downloading files or running background processes. You can tell if you get the insufficient disk space message in the notifications center.

To fix this problem, you can increase the disk space on the C: drive (or wherever you have Windows installed) by turning to a partition manager. However, if you don’t want to install any third-party tools, Disk Management should do the trick.

How to use Disk Management:

1. Right-click the Start button and select Disk Management
2. Select a large drive that doesn’t contain Windows (like D:)
3. Right-click D: and select Shrink Volume
4. Write the new volume size and click Shrink
5. Return to the main window
6. Right-click the C: drive (or where you have Windows installed) and choose Extend Volume
7. Set the new volume size and click Extend
8. Try to run Windows Update now

If your hard disk is not big enough to allocate disk space from one partition to another, a workaround is to remove files from your PC to make room for Windows Update. Move personal photos and videos to an external hard disk, burn them to DVDs, or upload them to cloud storage accounts.

You can also uninstall large games and applications, as well as get rid of junk files with the help of a system cleaner. Or, if you don’t want to install anything extra, check out the Windows Disk Cleanup utility.

How to use Disk Cleanup:

1. Sign in to Windows 10 with admin rights
2. Go to Downloads and Recycle Bin to back up or restore any files you would like to keep since these folders will be emptied
3. Press Win key + E to open File Explorer
4. Select the C: drive or where you have your OS installed
5. Right-click the drive and go to Properties
6. In the General tab, click Disk Cleanup
7. At Files to delete, select everything and click Clean up system files
8. Once the file search is over, choose all items again and press OK
9. Restart your PC when the cleanup is over
10. Try to run Windows Update now

13. Check the network drivers

It’s common for driver issues to interfere with all applications and system utilities that require Internet access, including Windows Update. For instance, if your network device is not working properly, it could be the reason why you keep getting error code 0x80080005. It’s also possible that your network driver is obsolete or incompatible with your operating system. Here’s what you need to do:

How to quickly reinstall the network device:

1. Cliquez avec le bouton droit sur le bouton Démarrer et accédez au Gestionnaire de périphériques
2. Open the Network adapters category
3. Select and right-click your main network device, then click Uninstall device
4. Open the Action menu and click Scan for hardware changes
5. Restart your computer. Windows will auto-reinstall the missing network device
6. Check for Windows Update errors

How to update your network driver:

1. Return to Device Manager
2. Right-click your network device and select Update driver
3. When prompted with two options, click Search automatically for updated driver software
4. Wait a bit until Windows checks for updates. If it doesn’t find anything, exit

If Windows fails to find a network driver, we suggest turning to a driver update tool. It identifies all outdated drivers on your PC and finds newer versions on the web that are compatible with your operating system. Furthermore, it can automatically download and install all drivers.

How to roll back an incompatible network driver:

1. Go back to Device Manager
2. Right-click your network adapter and go to Properties
3. Switch to the Driver section
4. Click Roll Back Driver and follow the on-screen steps
5. If the button is greyed out, it means that no previous network driver exists on your PC, so you can’t complete the rollback
6. If the rollback was successful, reboot your machine and try to run Windows Update

14. Repair hard disk and system errors

Data corruption in the hard disk or operating system can be devastating to all system utilities, including Windows Update. If you have a missing or damaged file that’s critical for the updater component, it’s no wonder that you get error codes like 0x80080005.

To fix HDD errors, you can use CHKDSK (Check Disk). When it comes to damaged system files, use SFC (System File Checker). Lastly, for more serious problems with the component store of the Windows image, turn to DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management).

How to use CHKDSK:

1. Click the Start button, search for Command Prompt, and click Run as administrator
2. Type chkdsk c:/f if your operating system is installed on the C: drive. If it’s not, replace c: with the correct partition letter. Press Enter
3. When asked to confirm the CHKDSK scheduling at the next system boot, type y and hit Enter
4. Reboot your PC
5. During restart, CHKDSK will scan your hard disk and fix any errors
6. After boot, try running Windows Update

How to use SFC:

1. Press Win key + R, type cmd, and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to run CMD as admin. Click Yes if prompted by UAC (User Account Control)
2. Type sfc/scannow and press Enter
3. Patiently wait while SFC performs the system scan and fixes any issues
4. Restart your PC
5. Run Windows Update and check if you still get error 0x80080005

How to use DISM:

1. Launch Command Prompt as admin
2. Run DISM/online/cleanup-image/scanhealth to check the health of your operating system
3. If DISM finds any issues, type DISM/online/cleanup-image/restorehealth and press Enter to fix them
4. Reboot your PC after the process is complete
5. Open CMD as admin again
6. Run SFC (sfc/scannow)
7. Restart your computer one last time
8. Try to run Windows Update now

15. Run a malware scan

If your antivirus solution failed to fend off malware attacks, then an infection could have affected the entire operating system and its utilities, including Windows Update. You need to immediately perform a computer scan and remove any viruses from your PC.

How to run Windows Defender:

1. Click the Start button, search for Windows Security, and press Enter
2. Jump to Virus & threat protection
3. Click Scan options
4. Select Quick scan and click Scan now
5. Wait until Windows runs the scan. If it doesn’t find anything, select Windows Defender Offline scan and click Scan now
6. Once the threats have been eliminated from your PC, restart
7. Try to run Windows Update now

16. Turn off IPv6

It’s a bit unusual, but IPv6 connectivity may conflict with Windows Update if your network doesn’t support IPv6. In turn, this can lead to error codes like 0x80080005. Unless you’re absolutely sure that your ISP supports IPv6 (you can contact it and ask), it’s safer to disable IPv6 connections on your PC.

How to disable IPv6 on Windows 10:

1. Click the network icon in the system tray and visit Network & Internet settings
2. Go to Change adapter options
3. Select your Internet connection, right-click it, and choose Properties (you need admin rights)
