Windows 10: Japanese language pack is corrupted on Windows 10 LTSC 2019

Hello, I have a machine running Windows 10 LTSC 2019 with three language packs installed: English (the original one), Chinese (installed from Windows update), and Japanese (also installed from Windows update). Recently I hope the completely remove the Japanese language pack from Windows, but it seems that it get corrupted and cannot be removed.


Symptoms:

1. Run "lpksetup /u", select Japanese (not the displayed language), click next, shows "Uninstall failed".


2. Run PowerShell command: "DISM /Online /Remove-Package /packagename:Microsoft-Windows-Client-LanguagePack-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~ja-JP~10.0.17763.1", and get the result:

An error occurred - Microsoft-Windows-Client-LanguagePack-Package Error: 0x800736b3
Error: 14003
The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.


What I have tried so far:

1. Ran "sfc /scannow": Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

2. Ran "dism /online /cleanup-image /CheckHealth", "dism /online /cleanup-image /ScanHealth", "dism /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth": all of them said my system have no problem.

3. Mounted my original LTSC install ISO file (English) version, ran "dism /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth /source:wim:F:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess", than tried to remove the language pack again: failed with the same error.

4. Installed offline Japanese language pack for windows 10 1809 (successful), than tried to remove it: failed with the same error code.


I hope some one from Microsoft can tell me how to complete remove the Japanese language pack.
