On May 16, TapTechNews reported that Microsoft released KB5037765 for Windows Server 2019 during this month's Patch Tuesday event, mainly fixing NTLM issues. However, many users encountered a 0x800f0982 error during installation.
Microsoft has received feedback from users in Germany, France, Spain, and other regions that Windows Server 2019 users may encounter installation failures with error code 0x800f0982 after installing KB5037765.
TapTechNews learned from the report that Microsoft has identified the root cause of the problem, which is due to the lack of installation of the English language pack on the server. Microsoft will release a fix patch in the next few hours. If users cannot wait for the official patch from Microsoft, they can manually install the English language pack to resolve this error.
