Windows Server 2019 Standard Windows Update and role install errors 0x80073701

[bkosty]

Trying to get Windows Updates and Feature Roles to install but something appears to be corrupt. Have tried all my basic troubleshooting, needing some expert help.

Possibly a language pack issue based on logs but i dont have any languages installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
