More than 30 minutes to install a language pack?
Usually, language pack installation should take just a few minutes, even on modest specs.
Language packs download from Microsoft servers, so slow or unstable network can cause delays.
You should check network connection speed and stability on the Cloud PC.
Restart the Cloud PC.
Open Command Prompt as Admin and copy-paste the following:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
Alternatively, you may try installing the language pack offline by downloading the CAB file from Microsoft and installing via PowerShell.
This has become a known issue that Microsoft is unwilling to fix. The problem isn't your computer or your Internet connection. The problem is Microsoft keeping the language add-ons on a server that is either ridiculously overloaded or has really poor internet connectivity. I'm seeing download times of 10 to 25 minutes for each 1 MB download. For a fully supported language, there will be four of those, which means it can take almost two hours to fully install a language. There is no excuse for that.
