Hello Everyone,

I've tried to install this on my Windows 10 22H2 domain computer. Trying through the Settings and Add an optional feature I get the "Couldn't add". Having tried to install via Powershell, I got

Add-WindowsCapability : Add-WindowsCapability failed. Error code = 0x800f0954

After using the following I now get Add-WindowsCapability : Add-WindowsCapability failed. Error code = 0x8024002e

Right click policy setting and click Enabled. In addition to that, check the box “Download repair content and optional features directly from Windows Updates instead of Windows Server Updates Services (WSUS)“.

RSAT Tools Installation Error 0x800f0954

Download repair content and optional features directly from Windows Updates instead of WSUS

Click Apply and OK. Now open the command prompt on your computer and run the command gpupdate so that the latest policy settings are applied to the local machine.

Can anyone assist me please.

    Geoff,

    This has to do with WU policies.

    0x8024002E WU_E_WU_DISABLED Access to an unmanaged server isn't allowed.

    Please reset Windows Update using this Batch file.

    Don't reboot Windows yet.

    Then, run these commands:

    Restart-Service wuauserv

    Add-WindowsCapability –Online -Name Rsat.GroupPolicy.Management.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0

    See also: [Fix] RSAT Tools Error 0x8024002e or 0x800f0954 » Winhelponline

    If nothing helps, we'll see how to install the package offline.

    Hi Geoff,

    From admin PowerShell, run these commands:

    Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" -Name "UseWUServer" -Value 0

Restart-Service wuauserv

Add-WindowsCapability –Online -Name Rsat.GroupPolicy.Management.Tools~~~~0.0.1.0
