I am trying to install Chinese basic typing, and it doesn't want to install?

I installed the Chinese language pack on my only one-month old computer, and when I try to install the "basic typing", the "handwriting", the "text-to-speech" and the "basic speech recognition", it installs in a second (because they are all 1 megabyte), then 2 seconds later, the download button appears again. What type of mess is this? This is a new computer as well so why is Windows having this weird issue?

I can't even upload an image on this website because it keeps "failing to upload".

    Any update now? It shouldn't take more than a minute.

    I ran the commands, and I'm not sure if it's working. How long is it meant to take to install it? So far it's still processing the language pack.

    Can you try this from admin PowerShell?

    Uninstall-Language zh-cn

    -and-

    Dism /online /Add-Package /PackagePath:"F:\LanguagesAndOptionalFeatures\Microsoft-Windows-Client-Language-Pack_x64_zh-cn.cab"

    If that doesn't help, reset Windows Update.

    Try to install the Chinese language pack via Settings.
