We're adding features

[Norphy]

On some Windows 10 machines, every so often the machine tells me that its adding new features. I don't know what

 

It then says it fails

 

Tapping to get you more information doesn't actually get you more information. Does anyone know how to stop W10 from doing this? It's getting right on my nerves.

So a standard Microsoft error dialog then

Looking further at it, it appears that Windows 10 is attempting to install language packs but failing. I think the reason is that it's trying to pull them from WSUS but WSUS doesn't have them downloaded. Being as I'm using SCCM to manage updates rather than WSUS, that's not surprising.

dosent sccm use wsus?

 

you could import the updates into wsus if you actually want them to install so it dosent fail

The icon in your image is that of the Handwriting thingy and is most probably trying to update a language pack.

SCCM does use WSUS, yes, but it nothing actually gets downloaded into the WSUS repository. Once you install a Software Update Point onto a WSUS server, you're supposed to leave it well alone and leave SCCM to manage it. Updates get download and deployed from an SCCM distribution point.

I got around this by disabling the scheduled task that prompts this. I didn't need the language packs anyway.

 

schtasks /Change /TN "Microsoft\Windows\LanguageComponentsInstaller\Installation" /Disable

A different way to stop it is to install the relevant "Features on Demand" packages (either during deployment or by integrating them into your image)...
