RE: Error 0x80070005
I have this same error msg. I was up-to-date with all updates until I tried
downloading and installing the last 12 (the "IE vulnerability" group) which
includes updates for Office, IE and I think Outlook Express. After
dowloading and installation, rebooted as usual. Now I can no longer get
updates, and only get the following EVERY time I try to visit Microsoft
Updates:
[Error number: 0x80070005]
The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are

For self-help options:

For assisted support options:
Microsoft Online Assisted Support (no-cost for Windows Update issues)
I have followed every suggestion to no avail, including running
services.msc and the "Registry" fixes.
This is why I am migrating to Linux! But for the immediate time I still
need to get this fixed! WTF Microsoft?
