Good afternoon! Great post. I would like with your permission to share a bit of your experience, solving the error 0x80073701 when changing the language of the operating system interface.

I had it when I installed the language pack, I tried to restore the component store, it gave an effect, and also manually installed the latest cumulative updates downloaded from the Microsoft directory.

After which the error went away, on this topic I was helped by an engineer (http://pyatilistnik.org/oshibka-0x80073701-v-windows-reshaem-za-minutu/) Maybe this information to someone will be useful. Thank you for the article. Maybe this information to someone will be useful. Thank you for the article.
