Windows 10: How to stop autmatic installation of Language options.

Situation

For various reasons, we use a third-party patch management tool to install patches. We look forward to the future of peer-to-peer Windows updates.
Recently we enabled UAC to increase security.
But now all users with local administrator rights get a UAC popup when they start their computer.
UAC: Optional Features, Publisher: Microsoft Windows, CLSID: {C6B167EA-DB3E-4659-BADC-D1CCC00EFE9C}

Problem/cause

The cause for this popup seems to be:

We have different language packages installed English, German, French.

But while in English all options are installed Display-Language, Text-to-speech, Handwriting, Speech recognition, Typing, in German and French only "Display-Language" and "Handwriting" are installed.
It seems that Windows is trying to change this. And starts a download, causing the uac to pop up.
Since we have Computer\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\WindowsUpdate disabled, it cannot do its download and terminates.
And will try again in the future => new uac popup => user closes it => repeat.


Question

Is their an option to block/stop this automatic optional language install, so that the popup won't repeatetly show up?
To weaken uac shouldn't be an option.

Installing the language options would neither be the desired solution.


Looking forward to your suggestions & remarks, thank you!

Cortana Language: No option for English - United States

Hi Randy,



There are few languages that Windows 10 has pre-installed in the system itself. We suggest that you check these languages and locate the language that you want to install. Follow these steps below to locate the language:

• Click on the Start Menu, locate and select Settings.
• Click on Time and Language.
• Locate and select Region and Language.
• Click on Add a Language.

If you cannot find the language, you can download a language pack for Windows 10 on this link:

Language packs.



Let us know how it goes.

 

Prevent language from automatically being changed

• Since Keyla has stopped working.
• Two.
• When I test if the language stays after switching between programs - I switch to a different program, then switch the language, then switch to the previous program.

The steps you suggested didn't work, as I don't want to remove any of the languages.
