I was trying to update my Windows to the latest version, and I came across error code 0x80070008. I was clueless, not knowing what to do and thought of posting it on this page. Can anyone assist me on this?
Hello, I am listing multiple methods to help you remove the error from its root. Try any one:
Option 1: Execute Windows Update Troubleshooter
Option 2: Clearing cache from the store
Option 3: Temporarily disabling the Anti-malware/firewall software
Do tell me which option worked for you. If none of that did, then you can clean boot your PC.
Thank you and regards.
If you receive the error when installing a Windows Update, try renaming the “Download” folder inside the “SoftwareDistribution” folder. Click “Start”, “All Programs”, “Accessories” then right-click “Command Prompt” and select “Run as administrator” to start an elevated command prompt. Alternatively, you can press the Windows key + R to bring up the “Run” dialog then type without quotes “cmd” then hit Enter.
This automatically opens an elevated command prompt similar to the “Run as administrator” option. In the command prompt window, type the following commands then hit Enter on every command:
After this, install the Windows Update again and see if it works.
