Windows Update error 80070005 - steps so far...

[Charles G]

I tried recently to update to Windows 10 from 7 and received the above error. Did a google search and came up with the attached CMD file - which I ran in Administrator mode. It seems to not have made my system better. Any suggestions?


And does the CMD file reset all the security settings back to what they should be?


Thank you in advance.
