Hi,

 

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

 

I understand that Language Pack keeps searching. I’ll certainly assist you with the issue.

 

However, please let us know:

 

1.     Does this issue occur only with a particular language pack?

2.     Are you aware of any changes made to the computer prior to this issue?

3.     Which build version of Windows 10 is installed on the computer? Refer Which version of Windows operating system am I running?

 

Let us try couple of more troubleshooting steps and see if that helps.

 

Method 1: Run SFC and DISM scan

 

We can try running DISM and SFC command and see if that helps. To do this, refer the steps mentioned in the article Using System File Checker in Windows 10.

 

Method 2: Rename Software Distribution folders

 

We can try renaming the software distribution folders and see if that helps. Refer the steps mentioned below:

 

1.    Type command prompt in the search bar on the Taskbar.

2.    Right click on the command prompt icon and select Run as administrator.

3.    Type or paste the command and hit enter:
net stop bits
net stop wuauserv
ren %systemroot%\softwaredistribution softwaredistribution.bak
ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.bak
net start bits
net start wuauserv

4.    Restart the computer.

 

Method 3: New user account

 

Try creating a new user account and see if you are able to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro. Refer the article Create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10.

 

Let us know how it goes.
