# Troubleshoot Windows Update error code 0x8007000e or 0x800705aa
18+
19+
This article discusses how to resolve Windows Update error code 0x8007000e or 0x800705aa.
20+
21+
## Symptoms
22+
23+
When you try to install a Windows update, the installation fails. When this error occurs, you receive one of the following error messages:
24+
25+
```output
26+
Error - Installer encountered an error 0x8007000e. Not enough memory resources available to complete this operation.
27+
```
28+
29+
```output
30+
An error occurred - Error : 0x800705aa
31+
32+
Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.
33+
```
34+
35+
> [!NOTE]
36+
> The second message typically occurs when you use `dism /online /add-package /packagepath:<path of .cab file>`to install the update.
37+
38+
## Cause
39+
40+
This issue occurs if the computer doesn't have enough available virtual memory for Windows to install the update. The most common causes of this issue are the following conditions:
41+
42+
- Third-party applications are consuming lots of virtual memory.
43+
- The computer's virtual memory isn't managed automatically. Instead, it's manually configured.
44+
45+
## Workaround: Clean restart
46+
47+
When you start Windows by using a normal startup, several applications and services start automatically, and then they run in the background. These programs include basic system processes, antivirus software, and system utility applications. These applications and services can interfere with the update process.
48+
49+
A clean restart, also known as a _clean boot_, starts Windows without these background applications and services. Follow these steps:
50+
51+
1. Sign in to the affected computer as an administrator.
52+
1. In the Search box, enter **msconfig**, and then select **System Configuration**.
53+
1. In System Configuration, select **Services** > **Hide all Microsoft services** > **Disable all**.
54+
1. Select **Startup** > **Open Task Manager**.
55+
1. Under **Startup** in Task Manager, select each startup item, and then select **Disable**.
56+
1. Close Task Manager.
57+
1. In System Configuration, select **Startup** > **OK**.
58+
1. Restart the computer.
59+
60+
After the computer restarts, try again to update it.
61+
62+
## Resolution
63+
64+
To configure the computer to automatically manage its virtual memory, follow these steps.
65+
66+
1. To open **System Properties**, select Search and then enter **sysdm.cpl**.
67+
1. In **System Properties**, select **Advanced**, and then under **Performance**, select **Settings**.
68+
1. In **Performance Options**, select **Advanced**, and then under **Virtual memory**, select **Change**.
69+
1. Make sure that **Automatically manage paging file size for all drives** is selected, and then select **OK**.
70+
1. Restart the computer.
71+
