Something happened, and we couldn't install a feature - Windows
This post describes how to stop the error "Something happened, and we couldn't install a feature" which can popup in the notification action centre on Windows:
Cause
On my machine, this occurred when Windows tried to install the Microsoft-Windows-LanguageFeatures-Basic-en-gb-Package which failed because I have disabled the Windows Update service.
I found this by searching for a CbsPackageServicingFailure2 event in the Application Log in Event Viewer.
Resolution
I believe this can be resolved by enabling Windows Update.
Alternatively, I have tried to resolve the issue by enabling the following group policy setting:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair
And unchecking the 'Never attempt to download payload from Windows Update' and 'Download repair content and optional features directly from Windows Update instead of Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)' checkboxes:
Please do let me know in the comments if this resolves the issue for you.
