Hi all,

I have a question regarding on installing language pack.

Apparently my windows language set in Korean. However I would like to change it to English.

Once I attempt to install English language pack, I get error 0x80070005. Could anyone tell me how to fix this error please?

    Usually, 0x80070005 indicates lack of permissions.

    Try signing in with administrator account, see if you can install language pack then.
