Hi there!

We have a WSUS in our environment and all updates go well except for language packs. I have selected language packs to download and approved the necessary languages. However, I get an error when updating the clients: http://prntscr.com/v38elz

My Windows version is 1903 http://prntscr.com/v38der but I cannot see the version from the downloaded language pack for the windows version. Do you think it might be the reason?
Why all the versions are not being downloaded by WSUS?

    @Shukran
    Hi,

    Starting with Windows 10 version 1809, FOD (Features on Demand) and language packs can only be installed from Windows Update.
    Change the Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair policy to enable downloading FOD and language packs from Windows Update.
    This setting is located in
    Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates >System > Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair
    Set it to Enabled

    Alternate source file path: <BLANK>
    Never attempt to download payload from Windows Update: Uncheck
    Download repair content and optional features directly from Windows Update instead of Windows Server Update Services (WSUS): Check

    Hope above information can help you.

    I have applied the policy but the result is the same: http://prntscr.com/v3ig8k

    Also, is it possible to download the language packs from the Windows Catalog or from somewhere and install it manually?

    Windows 10, version 1903 and later and/or Windows Server, version 1903 and later are checked: http://prntscr.com/v3noyl
    The time is set automatically synced and it is correct: http://prntscr.com/v3ns2t
    The Firewall is off: http://prntscr.com/v3oa8v
