Windows update checks but encounters errors. (0x80070005)

I looked at the Windows Update tab in Services and it says - Disabled. However, it denies access to change the setting.

Can I change this via the registry perhaps?

However, it denies access to change the setting.
0x80070005 is access denied and means the user does not have administrative access permissions. Some causes can be group policy settings, a user without admin rights, corrupt or missing system files, 3rd party AV. If it is none of those, perform a repair install.

This computer only has one user, and I am the administrator.
AFAIK there are no group policy settings
SFC reveals no corrupt files.
I am not using 3rd party AV.

Repair install ... the cure seems worse than the disease.

Did you just install Windows and is this the first update, or was it already successfully updated before?
