Some Windows 10 users face error 0x80D05001 when they try to run a system update via Update Center. You can also find messages on the network according to which this error appears when installing various programs from the Windows Store application.
In today’s article, we will focus on the error during the upgrade.
Causes of Error 0x80D05001
- Glitch in Windows Update.
- Corrupted components of the Update Center.
- Incorrectly configured proxy server or VPN.
- Overly aggressive firewall.

Solution for error 0x80D05001
Let’s now take a look at several methods for solving error 0x80D05001. From automatic tools to complex combinations of actions, there are many ways to fix this problem.
Method # 1 Launching an automated tool
Error 0x80D05001 can occur as a result of a bug in the operation of Windows Update and its components. Fortunately, the operating system contains a special troubleshooting tool that can automatically fix your problem. Let’s try to use it with you:

- @echo off
- then select File → Save As …;
- give the file any name, but be sure to change its extension from .txt to .bat;
- select the location you need, for example, the desktop, and click the “Save” button;
- double click on the just created “batch file”;
- Wait until the update is complete and press any button on the keyboard when a message appears in the command line.
Restart your computer and check for error 0x80D05001.
Method # 3 Disable proxy or VPN client
Error 0x80D05001 could also occur as a result of your using a proxy server or VPN client. You will have to deactivate the latter yourself, but we will help you with the proxy server. To disable the proxy server on your Windows 10, do the following:
- press Win + S on your keyboard;
- enter the request “Proxy” and select the item “Proxy server settings” from the list of results;
- put the switch next to the “Use a proxy server” option to the “Off” position;
- close all windows and restart your computer.
So, as soon as you are logged in, go to the Update Center and run the Windows 10 update.
Method # 4 Disable Firewall
Some users claim that the 0x80D05001 error can occur due to an overly caring firewall. As a rule, this situation occurs with a third-party firewall. Here’s what we advise you to do: either temporarily disable the firewall (if available), or uninstall the utility that provides this functionality. Neither solution is a joy for you, but it’s still worth checking out. It may be necessary to replace the current firewall with a firewall from another developer.
Method # 5 Running SFC and DISM Scans
You may be dealing with damaged system files and Windows 10 components. In such a situation, it is worth using the System File Checker and DISM utilities. You don’t need to download anything or configure for a long time: opened the command line (Win + R → cmd → Ctrl + Shift + Enter) and executed a certain bunch of commands. By the way, here are these commands:
- sfc / scannow
- Dism / Online / Cleanup-Image / RestoreHealth
Of course, we are waiting for the completion of each of the programs and do everything that is required of us on the command line, at the end we reboot. Once you’re done fixing your potentially corrupted OS, run an update and check if the 0x80D05001 error has been fixed.
