What causes Error 0x80070057#
Windows Update simply has an issue with your "SoftwareDistribution" folder.
# This appears to be an issue with the program Netop which enters a driver entry into the enum\root\unknown key in the registry.
# You have old versions of OKI drivers installed.
To resolve this error, use one of the following methods:
Resolution Suggestion One:# Try renaming the SoftwareDistribution folder:
Click Start, Choose Run.
In the Run box, type: services.msc
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Stop.
Stopping the service will take a moment.
Now rename the "SoftwareDistribution" folder:
a) Click Start, click Run, type
%systemroot%
...and then click OK.
b) Right-click the SoftwareDistribution folder, and then click Rename.
c) Type SoftwareDistribution.old and then press ENTER to rename this folder.
Now click Start, and choose Run.
In the Run box, type: services.msc
Click OK.
Right-click the Automatic Updates service.
Click Start.
Starting the service will take a moment.
NB - You will lose your update download history but this is not that important compared to not being anle to download the updates!
Now Try WU website again.
