Windows Language and Optional Features / LoF ISO for ARM64
Posted by gabee-_-@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 8 comments
So, I've been stuck on a problem for a few days now where the optional feature IE Mode was removed and I can't add it back (error: "Couldn't Add" 0x8000FFFF). I replicated the problem on 3 different machines, one ARM64 (VM), and two x64 (1 VM and the other my personal PC). In none of the cases is it possible to re-add the IE Mode feature, either through the GUI or the command line. But, I managed to solve the problem with a Microsoft article that provides the LoF for x64. However, I can't find where to download the LoF for ARM64. I personally managed to download it through VS Subscription, but the client doesn't have that access. Does anyone know how to proceed in this case?

If your client can't access the VS portal atera's patch management can deliver optional Windows features across ARM64 and x64. it's made this process way easier for me, especially when Microsoft's downloads are locked down.

I was able to find a public download from microsoft.
Is the following procedure practicable for you/your client? 1) Download ISO for matching winner 2) Mount ISO 3) Use DISM with
/AddCapability /CapabilityName:
and
/Source\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
to prevent MSupdate as a source.
4) Verify installation with DISM /Get-Capabilities

Yeah I tried this but it gives me an error: 0x800f0955. I think it's something related to this specifically cabinet not being fully-complete. I already tried the Windows Update troubleshooting (stop services, rename catroot2 and SoftwareDistribution folders, restart services, etc)

Sorry dude wish I could help more, but i’d be lying if I said i’d had a single good experience with DISM myself. Good luck

Don't worry, thanks for the help!

So far as I know, IE mode is long gone. It doesn't exist anymore.

It does exist, you can try it yourself. The problem is: Once you remove the Optional Feature, you can't re-add. It's like a bug or something
