A few Windows users have been
getting a 0x80080008 error message when they're using Microsoft update to install
Windows updates in Windows 7, Windows 8 and Window Vista. This problem actually
arises if any of your Windows update files are corrupted. So, let us see how to
fix the Microsoft update error code 0x80080008.
There are two reasons why users
encounter this error message - either the wups2.dll file is installed
incorrectly or it was not registered.
In order to fix this issue, you'll
need the latest version of the Windows Update Agent which you can get from
KB949104 for your OS version. Once you've downloaded and installed the agent,
run the Windows update troubleshooter. Sometime installing this update will fix
the problem.
However, if it doesn't solve the
problem, you can re-register the DLL file which is causing the problem (in this
case wups2.dll). To do so, simply follow the below steps.
Open the command prompt and first
type the following command to stop the Windows update service.
net
stop wuauserv
Next, type the below command to
re-register the wups2.dll file.
regsvr32
%windir%\system32\wups2.dll
You'll then get a popup message
saying that the DLL is registered.
Click OK and then type the below
command to restart the Windows Update Service.
net
start wuauserv
That's it! Doing so will fix the
Microsoft update error 0x80080008 from popping up while installing the Windows
updates in future.
