Why did I Get the Error Code 0x800f0950 in Windows 11?

Let’s keep in mind that the error appears after switching to Windows 11 and this OS is still in its early development so anything can happen.

The Windows 11 Language pack is not compatible:-

If you downloaded a language pack driver from an unofficial source, it is probably not compatible with Windows 11. The official language packs of different versions of Windows 10 are also not compatible with the new OS, so stick to the basic process of adding a language pack driver.

Don’t worry because our solutions below will cover these issues and after that, you will be able to install the language pack driver of your choice without any problems.

Language Pack Driver File Corrupted:-

The fact that the error message suggests trying again later suggests that this error could be caused by a simple connection issue. If you tried to install the language package and it failed during the installation process due to Internet connection issues, some remnant files will remain. And if you try to install it again, these may generate corrupted files and fail to install again.
