missing one installed Language or its Features after installed Windows 10 20H2 patch

Question

Thanks for your help first.

I started to deploy Windows 10 Pro 20H2 to my company PCs using ManageEngine patch management method but I got a language issue after that.

Our user PC is using English UI and added one language Chinese Hong Kong/Taiwan for Chinese typing and downloaded its features, but once installed the 20H2 patch, users reported that they can't type Chinese, when I try to switch to Chinese from the task bar, it will show an error " Traditional Chinese IME is not ready yet."

Then I check Setting --> Language and found that the Chinese Hong Kong/ Taiwan's Features are missing, I need to click the options button and manually download it again.

once done, user can use back the Chinese input method then.

Any idea?

or any script that I can add language and its features online when that PC is restricted to connect Windows update site

Give you more information about our pc environment setup:

• all pc joined domain
• use gpo to disable automatic windows update and set a invalid url to force it can't connect to Windows update to download all windows update.
• I've checked with ManageEngine support, they said their patch management is just download the 20H2 patch file from Microsoft and apply it target pc.

Thanks again

Patrick

Answer 1

Hi Patrick,
Please understand that ManageEngine patch management is not a Microsoft product, of course you could use it for deploy update, but if there is any issue appeared after deployment by this method, it may not be related to Windows system itself.

On the other hand, you could try the command to install language:
Dism /online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\test\LangPacks\lp.cab

Hello TeemoTang,

Thanks for your information.

Do you know if I setup this GPO setting:
"Specify intranet Microsoft update service location", will it be caused my language issue?

That means the PC will not able to connect to Windows Update service

Thanks for this command:
Dism /online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\test\LangPacks\lp.cab

and where I can download the Language's "Feature on demand" file?

most our PC are using build 1903.

I got confused about Language Pack and Language Experience Pack and which build no. should should use which one?

Thanks

Patrick

Answer 3

Hello TeemoTang,

and I got the below error when I run this command

Dism /online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\test\LangPacks\lp.cab

Error: 0x800f081e
The specified package is not applicable to this image.

The Language pack iso I was download from my MPSA account and the file name is:
SW_DVD5_NTRL_WIN_10_SVR_64BIT_MULTILANG_LANGUAGE_PACK_X20-08995.ISO

it is the correct one?

Thanks

Patrick

Answer 4

I tested it again by download the win10 20H2 iso and upgrade it my testing vm by command line, the result is the same.

Give you more information, in our company GPO setting, this vm is restricted to connect to windows update site, is it 20H2 feature pack upgrade required Windows update to download Language and it Features On Demand online?

any idea?

Thanks

Patrick
