Windows 10 21h2 Language Pack French Download
Karla Ganger
Hi,
I used MDT from a long time.
I build my windows 10 image with an english iso, I add the french langage pack in the CustomSettings.ini and in my task sequence I add packages in the preinstall step, like Microsoft-Windows-Notepad-FoD-Package fr-FR amd64 10.0.19041.1
And using this system image to deploy a new computer works fine.
I get my windows in french and my notepad in french too.
My apologies for the late reply. I have been extremely busy lately. I am not sure I understand your problem. What do you mean that all downloads only work with newly installed servers? When you download a language pack as described in the section -windows-languages-and-language-packs/#ObtainWindows10LP, you are not able to install this on an already installed server or W10 machine? And in your second remark, if I understand it correctly, you say that after you install Windows updates the already installed language packs do not work? Could you please elaborate on these issues? Which Windows version are you using? The more details you can provide the better.
My apologies for the late reply. I was on holiday. Just to be sure; what exactly is the issue? Is it the Windows language, the keyboard language or the date/time settings? The keyboard language has nothing to do with the language pack. You can use any keyboard layout you like independent of the Windows display language. The same goes for regional settings. I wrote an article about regional settings which may clarify things: -regional-settings-and-windows-locales-with-group-policy/.
As I work for an International Compagny I have to build a new Gold Image, common to the Company, with Windows 10 1809 in English (default language) and put the French Language Pack.
For the French branch Office I need to set the french language as the default for All Users using this VDI.
But despite everything, I was note able to implement your solution on my running Win10 1809 VDI Gold Master.
I installed windows 11 21h2 by making a bootable windows 10 usb stick, and replacing the big file from windows 10 with that of the windows 11. So no checks etc.
If i now use the big file from 22h2 and copy that to the windows 10 bootable usb stick. Can i upgrade in that way? Or do you have no experience with that way of installing?
