When you use Optional Windows Features to install the Media Feature Pack<\/a> Feature-on-demand component on Windows N or the KN Edition, the error 0x80070490 may appear.<\/p>\n

The error 0x80070490 denotes “Element not found” which indicates a problem in the COMPONENTS registry hive or missing files in the components store.<\/p>\n

\"media<\/p>\n

When you use DISM to install the package, the same error (decimal: 1168 hex: 0x80070490) appears.<\/p>\n

DISM \/Online \/Add-Capability \/CapabilityName:Media.MediaFeaturePack~~~~0.0.1.0<\/pre>\n

To resolve the issue, remove the Media Feature Pack package and then reinstall it. To do so, open an admin Command Prompt and run:<\/p>\n
dism \/online \/remove-capability \/capabilityname:Media.MediaFeaturePack~~~~0.0.1.0<\/pre>\n
Reboot Windows.<\/p>\n
After restarting Windows, use Windows Features in Settings to reinstall Media Feature Pack. Alternatively, run the following command.<\/p>\n
dism \/online \/add-capability \/capabilityname:Media.MediaFeaturePack~~~~0.0.1.0<\/pre>\n
That should resolve the issue.<\/p>\n
