Windows 10: Japanese Language Pack getting stuck during install

I'm running Windows 11 ver 22H2 and I can't seem to get the Japanese language pack downloaded on my computer. I've been trying for a few days, but every part of it gets stuck at around 75% and just stays there. I even left it running while I slept to see if it would be done by the time I woke up, and sure enough it was still at 75%. I am also getting error 0x800F0841 at times when installing the Japanese supplemental fonts.
