When trying to install the linux subsystem package that microsoft includes in Windows 10 dev, I get an error telling me that I have insufficient resources to complete the task.
Error code 0x800705aa.

I shouldn't be getting this error as I have plenty of RAM and disk space for Windows to use as seen below:

The RAM is 42% used at this point, so that means there's about 4GB left over for Windows to use, yet I still get this insufficient resources error. It's not just the linux subsystem installation either, every single thing in the "turn windows features on or off" window is unable to be installed. Every single one gives me the same error.

Have you changed your page file at all? as that is the only other set of resources i can think of being effected by adding new features

I wonder if the resources aren't on your end but perhaps MS. Many people are having same error appear when adding store apps: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/apps_windows_10-winapps/windows-store-abends-with-0x800705aa/c8885cf8-552e-4ac1-bde1-adc04ee0319e so its likely its related to your problem, i bet it has to download the features through the store or windows update.
