In addition, people who are using the latest Windows device might also receive the POP3 WP8 error code 80004005. Here are the solutions to these problems and the reason for this error.
Here is registered query from a windows user:
“The recent update of Win7 X64 for KB 2729094 has failed repeatedly with Error Code 80004005. I recently had a partial hard drive failure in my system drive (C:). The system became unstable so I installed a new hard drive and did a sector by sector copy of my hard drive to the new hard drive. The OS seems to work fine and other updates were subsequently installed without issue. I don’t know if the disk failure is related but thought I should mention it.
The 094 update installed without error on 8/15 but was downloaded again on 10/10 and did not install. It has installed properly on several of my other machines but not on this one. I would appreciate any guidance on how to get this update installed or to repair the installation of the Segoe font that is addressed. Note that the manual download and install failed also.
Any suggestions?”
