| 1419106 | 2016-04-14 00:05:00 | Having a issue with a win10 system here. Someone thought it might be a good idea to install "English (GB) Optical Character Recognition" and "English (GB) Typing" Well is wasn't, because they are showing up in notifications as failed installs. There is a long list of them, about 10 per day. Question is: How to get rid of them now Oh, error code is 0x800F0908 |

In the search next to the start button type in lpksetup Select the command, when the box opens it will give you the option to uninstall any languages that have been put in after the default setup. All going well it may see whats added, and you can remove it. |

| 1419108 | 2016-04-14 05:26:00 | Had already tried that. It found them & appeared to uninstall them. As in showed a progress bar & said finished. Didn't fix the problem though. Tried lpksetup again, showed one entry for "English Language" but no option to uninstall that. Has a yellow flag on it. Still getting the notification warnings |

| 1419110 | 2016-04-14 06:22:00 | Shoot, possible wrong link - Was talking to a customer on the phone and trying to do this at the same time. one common cause of the failure ( error message) so it seems is this : getting-error-code-0x800f0908-while-downloading (windowanswers.com) The link details language packs, but it appears the same for optional features. |

| 1419111 | 2016-04-14 06:36:00 | That looks promising. Ran the troubleshooter for windows update. Said it found & fixed a problem. So far no notifications. So easy too. |

| 1419112 | 2016-04-14 09:54:00 | Unfortunately, too easy. It came back. |

| 1419113 | 2016-04-14 21:36:00 | Is it worth trying system restore back to before all this? | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1419114 | 2016-04-14 22:03:00 | Possibly but I think the problem was introduced right after the upgrade. If I went back to day one I would be taking out all the other adjustments that I want to keep as well. |

| 1419115 | 2016-04-14 22:21:00 | This is interesting. Just turned on the problem system & checked the optional feature history. The two addons have now installed, probably as a result of turning off the metered connection. But check this "Install succeeded on 1/01/1601" |
