Windows Update (WSUS) failed with error 0x80080005? try this solution!

  • Article

Some customers reported that they got error 0x80080005 on their WSUS client. A simple fix is adding the following registry key:

HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControl

Key = RegistrySizeLimit

Type = DWORD

Value = 4294967295

 

If the above solution can not resolve your failure, please send me the log files.

    No need to edit registry. Give "Everyone" permission. When done. Remove "Everyone" permission. Worked for me.

    Hi Sanju, you need to use decimal on the left, or you can type in ffffff for hexadecimal.
