Windows 10: Optional features in Windows 10 cannot install

I am having trouble installing optional features from Settings -> System -> Apps & Features -> Manage Optional Features? If I select any feature to install whether it is .NET Framework 3.5 or a language pack, all that happens is the view refreshes and the feature isn't installed. Additionally, I constantly get notifications throughout the day that "Windows is adding features" and then immediately a notification that "Something happened and we couldn't install features". These notifications emanate from the language pack trying to install additional features namely Basic Typing, Handwriting and Speech. The language is the default English US. I tried changing it, to no avail, the problem persists.

I upgraded from Windows 8.1 to 10, and then did a clean install of Windows 10. I'm on a cellular connection, and the option to mark the connection as non-metered is grey'd out, so I cannot change it - but my Windows Update seem to be working just fine.

Is this happening for others as well? Does anyone have a solution?

No Features to Install Under Optional Features?

Same issue here. I'm trying to install Windows Media Player but the optional features page doesn't list anything available to install.

 

No Features to Install Under Optional Features?

fwiw, I just restarted and it showed up and installed. Not sure if it was related to the reboot or just time taking care of it (maybe the service was temporarily unavailable?)

 

please help have the same issue

 

Could you connect to another non-metered connection? Then let Windows Update finish. You cannot change features when updates still pending. You have to restart the computer to confirm that all updates have finished before trying additional features again.
