Windows 10 update 0x800705b4 fails

john432

As above, this update fails and keeps failing when I re-try, been like this for a couple of weeks. Laptop is a Compaq intel Celeron cpu 2.00ghz, 4GB ram.
This laptop was already slow, so have done a recovery back to new install, but already on the first attempt at windows update this update fails again. When I google this update their is lots off fixes and downloads, but when I google the downloads, they all seem to be dodgy. So, can anybody recommend a safe download, or a step by step guide.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

It may be linked to Windows Defender...

A conflict with some other A/V and Defender is turned off and cannot update.

As mentioned I have done a new install, so all that's on their is windows 10, plus the 1st attempt doing the update.

Any more help, please..............

That looks more like a Windows Error Code than a KB file. Does your machine have Nvidia graphics? I think that error code has been associated with incompatible Nvidia drivers. Maybe try updating the video driver as part of your investigations.
