However, at times the user may face Sorry we’re having trouble getting this optional feature installed error while downloading any optional features such as language packs, etc. If you are facing similar error, here is how to fix it.

What to do if you can’t install optional language packs

1. Turn off Metered Connection

Windows 10 allows you to turn on the Metered Connection feature to prevent the OS from downloading automatic updates on a limited network data connection. If you have the feature turned on and are getting the error, turning it off can fix the issue. Close the settings window and try to download the language pack and check for any improvements.

2. Restart your PC in Clean Boot Mode

By restarting your PC in Clean Boot mode, you can make sure that no third party software installed on your system is creating conflict with the download and update operation. Once the system is booted in the clean boot state, try to install the optional features, in this case, the language pack and see if it can be successfully installed. SPONSORED If the optional features can be installed in the Clean boot state, then you probably have a third-party software creating conflict with the Windows update and installation. To fix this problem, you can try to uninstall any recently installed software on your PC.

3. Install Language Packs Manually

First, download the language pack you want to install from the internet. Make sure you download the language pack that is supported by your Windows 10 build and edition (32-bit/64-bit). Once downloaded, follow the below steps to install the language pack manually. Once the language pack is installed, you need to switch the language for your user account.  Here is how to do it. Restart your PC, and you should have installed your preferred language as a display language without any error. Note that, like the first solution, for you to be able to install language packs manually, make sure the metered connection is turned off. Microsoft does not download any major update packages over the metered connection to save the data.
