Fix “Unfortunately, help seems to be broken…There aren’t any help collections in the current language for the site you’re using.” Error in SharePoint 2016
Problem: The Help Menu (?) in SharePoint 2016 is not working! On clicking the Help menu, it gets the error message:
“Unfortunately, help seems to be broken… There aren’t any help collections in the current language for the site you’re using.”
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Enable External Web-based Help in Privacy Options of SharePoint 2016 Central Admin. Navigate to : https://central-admin-url/_admin/privacy.aspx, and Set “Yes” to “Display Help from external web Sites as specified by each Help collection?”
- Check the help collection status and install if needed: Open SharePoint 2016 Management Shell, Run:
Get-SPHelpCollection
It gave nothing. Guess help collection is not installed. Now, Install help collection by running:Install-SPHelpCollection -All
Wait for a few minutes to get them installed (10 min!). Try to close and reopen the SharePoint 2016 sites! Now, SharePoint 2016 help should work.
Thank you. Your guidance was really helpful to fix our issue.
