    Something happened, and we couldn't install a feature.


    I keep getting this message while trying to add Japanese input support.

    Something happened, and we couldn't install a feature.
    Please tap to get more information.

    Tapping it only takes me to the list of installed optional features.

    Some people reported this problem caused by a metered WiFi connection. I have a unmetered Ethernet. No problem downloading and installing Windows Updates. Has anyone else ran into this?

    :)

  3. I`m unable to install anything from the app store: Code: 0x80072EFD

    Hey Greg,

    Thanks for the help!

    I tried everything on the list, including the system restore, expect step 13, because I couldn`t find the appropriate software for my SSD. Nothing seems to work.

    If I try to install anything from the store, I just get the same error message.

    I already did everything from this post to be sure my computer is clean:

    Any other suggestions?
