Is it possible to re-install the "Windows Feature Experience Pack" to Windows 10 Home 22H2 after having (perhaps ill-advisedly, in hindsight) it via the following PowerShell command:
Remove-WindowsPackage -Online -PackageName "Microsoft-Windows-UserExperience-Desktop-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.3393"
? How might one do so? Could it be accomplished via DISM or SFC, or some other standard tool?
Background: I had been hoping to rid my PC of the utterly unneeded new Windows Backup app that came with last month's Cumulative Update and came across the above PowerShell trick. Now, alas, the new Cumulative Update, KB5031356, repeatedly fails to install, giving up at the 99% point(!) and reverting changes, with a corresponding error code of 0x800f0922. Having ruled out a number of other issues, I speculate the my removal of the Feature Experience Pack a couple weeks ago is the most likely culprit. (Does that sound plausible?)

I uninstalled it too (from Windows 10 Enterprise v22H2) to remove unneeded Windows Backup app and now my Snip & Sketch app does not do screen captures (I get error “You'll need a new app to open this ms-screenclip link”).
