Yes but here we are talking about an issue of COMODO and updates on a standard account.
From windows 24H2, if you have COMODO and you are using a standard user account, windows updates are not working
@C.O.M.O.D.O_RT Are there any news on the testing on non-admin accounts? Did you identify the Windows Update issue there?
Hi TheMalwareMaster,
The team is working on it.
Thanks
C.O.M.O.D.O RT
You repeat the same words for many, many months āThe team is working on itāā¦ Now it is clear to me that no one works on this problem! All your words here are just an unsubscription, so that the complains to shut up for a while. You should be ashamed! But for some reason I am ashamed for you ā¦
In the best case, you have only the most incompetent programmers in the world! Otherwise, for so many months, even a schoolboy would have coped with such a simple problem, having CIS sources in his hands!

Please no attacks on them, this is not the right way to get things done.
By discussing with him, I understood they have probably tested on an admin account and they have not found the issue, because this only occurs on non-admin (standard user account).
So please, test the issue on a non-admin account
@C.O.M.O.D.O_RT any update on the matter? I am really looking forward for the bug to be fixed now that we know that it affects only non-admin accounts
Hi TheMalwareMaster,
Sorry for the inconvenience.
The team is working on it.
We will keep you posted as soon as it fixed.
Thanks

Still here sitting after 7 month with no solutionā¦
@C.O.M.O.D.O_RT can you specify whether the current status is 1 or 2?
1: The developers have tested and the Windows Update issue on standard accounts WAS NOT identified
- The developers have tested and the Windows Update issue on standard accounts WAS identified, but still there is no solution to the problem
After updating in-place to Windows 11 25H2, I can confirm the Windows update problem has been solved in both my systems.
If you have the same issue, I suggest you to update Windows to 25H2.
I will update this thread in case the Windows Update issue comes back

You didnāt respond to my question here.
It seems that CIS was not involved, just as I was suspecting.
In order to update Windows each time, I had to remove COMODO.
I use a regular Microsoft ISO from the website.
CIS WAS indeed involved
I finally found out and hope the whole issue is overā¦
My config was the issue, canāt really believe it. The update went through with the default proactive config. I did not make strange modifications though, itās just Cruelsister config with āblockā instead of ārun virtuallyā

List of settings that I modified from the proactive config:
Turned off alerts and beeps apart from ānotification messagesā
Firewall: ādo not show popup alertsā and set to block, turned off trustconnect
HIPS off
Containment: unchecked ādo not virtualize accessā, set ādo not show elevation alertsā to āblockā
Auto-containment: set all 4 default to āblock and quarantineā
File evaluation: I set COMODO to block and terminate malware detected from cloud scan automatically
Virusscope: set to process malware without showing alerts
I will try to find the exact issue with the delta from my config with respect to the default proactive one and will le you know

I repost here another test done by another user on MalwareTips forum: https://malwaretips.com/threads/comodo-blocks-windows-updates-with-error-0x80070005.138187/post-1153113
This is interesting.
Did you ever attempt to use my EXACT SETTINGS (absolutely NO changes) for Comodo Firewall (NOT CIS) and see if this persists for you?

Iāll test that at the next update, but I believe the issue is the HIPS OFF (It sounds incredible but it may be).
Andy ful tested that on MalwareTips and when he had HIPS off updates were failing.
I guess itās not due to the containment set to āblockā because otherwise I would have had a blocking notification in COMODO
