For an offline system, you need to first download a copy of the W11 Languages and Optional Features ISO.

Windows 11 21H2 Language and Optional Features ISO

Windows 11 22H2 Language and Optional Features ISO

Mount the ISO, before running your DISM command:

Code:

C:\Windows\System32>ipconfig /all
