[happynoob5]

Hi,
I'm doing a factory reset on my pc on Windows 11 and i get this message
" Windows could not determine the language to use for setup. Error 0x80004005 "

thx for your help

if you happy to factory reset, just do a clean install as then you don't have to try to fix windows as you replaced it

go here and download 2nd link - https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11
I would use a working PC to make installer.

use it to make an installer on USB and boot from it
follow this guide: https://forums.tomshardware.com/faq/how-to-do-a-clean-installation-of-windows-10.3170366/
its mostly the same still.

Good timing as WIn 11 23H2 released a few days ago

Don't use MCT to download 23H2 as it still downloads 22H2.

Don't use MCT to download 23H2 as it still downloads 22H2.

weird as @Darkbreeze got it a few days ago and said he got 23H2

Glad I used the update assistant route then.

It's possible it got updated during installation as it was just "Enablement package" which just enabled features installed with previous (Moment 4) KB.

Yes, I know it didn't do a lot. I went looking for changes after and the most I noticed is it swapped me to Edge instead of Firefox.

if he does a clean install and gets old version, it wouldn't take long before it offered 23H2 anyway.
