Windows 10: Error code 0x80070490 when trying to enable/install .Net Framework 3.5 in Windows 11

Good afternoon everyone,I feel like I've tried everything. Several older programs require this framework to run, when I try to run them, it asks to install the framework. When I try to install, I always get the same error message:Windows couldn't find required files to complete the requested changes. Make sure you're connected to Internet, and try again. Error code: 0x80070490.I've tried the offline installers, which when I run those, it says it needs .Net Framework 3.5 to even run the installer, and then the above message occurs again.I also tried using the media creation tool, and running DI

:)

Can't install .NET Framework 3.5 (error code 0x80070490)

Hello

I'm trying to install .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 11, but getting error code 0x80070490 no matter if the installer is offline or online version. I reset all network as well and tried different Wi-Fi and Wi-FI hotspot that go though my phone to 3G but it still won't install and give me error code 0x80070490. Uninstall anti-virus and dsiable firewall doesn't solve the problem.

I've used the control panel, downloaded the instaler manualy but i can't install it on my pc.
