I need help with this, I just updated from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and I got Windows 11 Pro N and I just found out that this version lacks features. I even tried adding through cmd with "dism /online /add-capability /capabilityname:Media.MediaFeaturePack~~~~0.0.1.0" and it just shows an error: 0x800f0991. I can't use my computer normally because of this lacking feature

From Command Prompt (admin), run:

DISM /Online /Remove-Capability /CapabilityName:Media.MediaFeaturePack~~~~0.0.1.0
DISM /Online /Remove-Capability /CapabilityName:Media.WindowsMediaPlayer~~~~0.0.12.0

Restart Windows.

Launch Settings > System > Recovery. Under "Fix problems using Windows Update", select Reinstall now.

This does a repair installation, keeping your files, apps, and settings.

Hi,

The error 0x800f0991 is a slightly complicated error. It occurs if the delta differential files required by the Media Feature Pack FOD are missing.

To help me narrow down the issue, please upload your CBS logs to OneDrive or GoFile.io and post the link here.

The logs are available in the following folder. Copy the following folder to the desktop.

c:\windows\logs\cbs

Zip the folder and share the file on OneDrive or GoFile.io. Post the link here.
