Error code 0x800c0005 appears in Windows after a native or third-party task fails due to file download problems. In most cases, this problem is related to an error involving multiple Dynamic Link Library (.DDL) files. However, the same error code is also reported on the Xbox One.

If you go to Windows 10 Settings and then navigate to Update and Security, an error message suddenly appears that says, “Your PC isn’t connected to the internet”. To get started, connect to the Internet and try again. Now that you must already be connected to the Internet, how come Windows doesn’t recognize it and, more importantly, how to solve this annoying problem, we will of course discuss all of this shortly. The error is not limited to the Windows 10 Settings application, as you may encounter a similar error when trying to access the Windows App Store.
Restart your PC

Sometimes a normal reboot can solve the Internet connection problem. Therefore, open the Start menu, click on the Power icon and select Restart. Wait for the system to reboot, then try accessing Windows Update again or open the Windows 10 Store application to see if you can fix the Internet error.
Perform a Clean Boot
Putting your system in a clean boot state makes it easier to determine if the problem is caused by third-party applications or boot components. Check this problem in the “Clean Boot” state.

Just like the software you use to perform certain tasks on your device, the operating system requires regular updates. Yes, we’ve all heard some troubling stories.
Devices often develop problems after unfinished updates that don’t pass. But these operating system updates contain important security patches. If you don’t apply them to your system, your system is vulnerable to viruses and malware.
