Hi @jovanybel09 ,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If you're encountering issues with Windows Update on your HP Pavilion Notebook and receiving the error code 0x800f0805, there are several steps you can try to resolve the problem. Here are some general troubleshooting steps:

Check Internet Connection: Ensure that your internet connection is stable and working properly. A reliable internet connection is essential for Windows Update to download and install updates.

Restart Your Computer: Sometimes, simply restarting your computer can resolve update-related issues. Restart your HP Pavilion Notebook and try running Windows Update again.

Run Windows Update Troubleshooter: Microsoft provides a built-in troubleshooter that can automatically detect and fix issues with Windows Update. Here's how you can run it:

• Press Win + I to open the Settings menu.
• Go to "Update & Security" > "Troubleshoot."
• Select "Windows Update" and follow the on-screen instructions to run the troubleshooter.

Check Date and Time Settings: Ensure that the date and time settings on your computer are accurate. Incorrect date and time settings can interfere with Windows Update.

Free Up Disk Space: Make sure you have enough free space on your hard drive for the updates to be installed. You can use the built-in Disk Cleanup tool to free up space.

Check for BIOS/UEFI Updates: If you're having trouble updating Windows, it might be worth checking if there's an available BIOS/UEFI update for your HP Pavilion Notebook. Visit the HP support website, enter your laptop's model number, and check for any BIOS/UEFI updates. If available, follow the instructions to update your BIOS.

Perform a Clean Boot: Sometimes third-party software can interfere with Windows Update. Perform a clean boot to start Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This can help identify if a third-party application is causing the issue.

Manually Download and Install Updates: If Windows Update is still not working, you can manually download and install the updates

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.-
