I have a Windows 2008 R2 server. There are 5 Windows updates sitting waiting for me to install:

... but when I try, I get the following error message:

I have tried rebooting, installing each of these 5 updates individually, but no matter what, it always fails, with that same meaningless error message:

Code 80070005: Windows Update encountered an unknown error.

How to fix this?

  • It's a pretty vague and broad error that could mean a whole bunch of things. Hit up Google and start trying suggestions. – HopelessN00b Jan 26 '14 at 08:50

Looks like it was caused my my Antivirus (McAfee). I disabled it, and the updates have now been applied...

stil no exact and easy resolution available from microsoft.

you can use Subincle, but make sure it should not hamper the production.it will make your security permission default.
