I've been testing the installation of the latest Patch Tuesday updates on my Window 8 system. I've deployed the updates and opened Software Center to update them. Out of over 10 updates only 2 will install and the others will go into retry mode. Checking the Failed status, they all show an error code 0x87D00705. Inspection of the UpdatesHandler.log shows this for each failed deployment
Automatic Updates is currently busy, failing job.
StartProcessingUpdates - Trying to complete job ({B3449743-3BE8-41D0-BA7D-E2F0165DA887}) due to job failure 0x87d00705
As job ({B3449743-3BE8-41D0-BA7D-E2F0165DA887}) is in failed state no presence results can be populated.
I can't seem to find what's making Automatic Updates too busy. My system has 16 GB of ram and is barely idling. Anyone seen this error before?
