Adam, as much as I love the article, I simply cannot make a TS work. All logs are fine installing LP, FoD and LXP and then I always end up on the Why did the PC restart? blue error screen being offered an update that'd fix it, of course it doesn't and it's a reboot look from then on :(

It's been weeks now with this :(

Hi there,

First of All thank you for your post, the world of the language pack si getting a bit tricky ... I got the same issue like the previous comment ( Why Did the PC Restart ? with blue Screen).

Do you have a clue about what could be the cause ?

I will try to inject the latest Cumulative update in offline mode...

Thanks again

Best Regards

Hi, yes, it's been solved.

Long story short: The ISO (wim) is vanilla, so it does not have anything language-related. When you inject an LCU in this wim, it's NOT updating anything language-related, cos the iso wim still has only en-US in it.

After adding the LP, FoD (LXP can actually be omitted) reapplying LCU is an ABSOLUTE MUST. This is when all the language specific parts of the LCU get applied.

I got this confirmed by an MS imaging guru.

So, what I have now is apply windows image, dism offline the LP, dism offline the FOD and apply the LCU as the last step, still offline, everyrhing in WinPE. Actually the dell driver package is also in winpe so by the step 'install configuration manager client' comes and restarts the machine, I have a full blown healthy windows with the localization.

Some apps like calculator, snip and sketch will stay english for like 1-2 restarts until there's a refresh, which can be forced by a scrip e.g. on the user's first logon, but I misplaced the script myself. got it from the MS guy too. but we aren't using it (now that I lost it :D )

Happy imaging

Hello Danzirulez,

Dude, if I would see you one day let me offer you a nice beer :)

I applied your scenario as following :

1. From an Install.wim from W10 22H2
2. Inject Offline all the LXP and FOD
3. Inject Offline the LCU (KB5019959)

and it works smoothly !

I will make more tests on it but for the moment you helped me to sleep a bit better last night !

Best Regards,

Hey everyone
I couldn't make it work either with that manual and ts of that post. Still thanks for your effort. I downloaded all the FoD in .cab format and tryd to add them to my basic win10 22h2 install.wim offline. I always get an error 0x800f0818 source file not found even when i pointed to the right directory though. How did you add your LXP to the offline image? I mean it seems to add it by command but when i check get-packages it doesn't show up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards

Hello,
Same issue here with the last KB and Windows Wim,
If you try to apply the xml file (control intl.cpl,, /f:"UIGermanCH.xml") you have the error, but if you apply the settings with "Apply Windows Settings" the error doesn't come but you need to choose the language over oobe at the end of the staging...
Was somebody able to solve the issue ?

I tried with the new Windows 10 21H2.16 version and addind the KB to Windows 10 21H2.7 same issue.
Thank you

Hello, and thank you for this great article! Do you have one for Windows 11 by chance? If so, I'm very interested in doing something similar, but with a couple twists: 1. I do not want to modify the install.wim at all - rather, I will be installing language packs, LXP, etc. on the fly during the OSD TS, re-installing the CU as needed, then making the necessary changes to the display language, UI, regional settings, etc. via powershell modules.
2. we have found the magic sauce which allows us to install language packs (and store apps/lxp's) without having a local repo - we've made some policy changes that allow the system to reach out to MS update servers for source content - so any LP's or LXP's we install will not have local content in the form of packaged apps, pkg/programs or local repos of any sort.
3. for the W11 OSD TS I want to use either MDT with UDI or some other menu driven option that users can interact with - maybe psappdeploytoolkit with serviceui, or some other PS tool that will present a menu to the person at the keyboard, who can then make the language installation choices in the form of check boxes

Can you help?
