I'm using Windows 10 Enterprise.

When I go to Windows Update, I get some Updates that I would like to install and about 100 Language Packs that I have neither requested nor want to install.

They are all in the form of Lang Pack (Language Features) Feature On Demand for X64 [af-ZA].

I have already looked under "Language" in the Control Panel but there is just German (my main Windows Language).

How can I get rid of these unwanted Language Packs? Windows Update

The simplest way that I found to remove a language pack from Windows 10 is to open an elevated prompt (I used PowerShell) and use lpksetup.exe /u followed by the language code, such as fr-fr (French). Example: lpksetup.exe /u fr-fr The process took several minutes to complete on a computer with an SSD, and was handy in that it provided a progress bar window. This worked for me on Windows 10.14393

FYI: There is documentation of an online DISM method using /Remove-Capability, but this generated error 87 for me.
