• Rebooting the workstation does not make any difference.
• The GlobalProtect virtual adapter is not listed under the network adapters of Windows 10 workstation.

• Palo Alto Firewall
• Supported PAN-OS
• GlobalProtect Agent/App on Windows 
• Any other network or security related application installed on the workstation ( Endpoint security application /  VPN application)

• The failed exit status along with error code 0x80070005 primarily indicates lack of access/privilege for GlobalProtect virtual adapter driver installation.
• These kind of restrictions/interferences for device driver installation are usually introduced by other security applications installed on the system.

1. Disable or if possible completely remove the security application from workstation.
2. Reboot the workstation.
