I ran into this issue today and it ended up being a problem with the WSUS server not having the necessary updates synced. To test this, I removed the PC from the policy that points the the WSUS server and adding the feature through the control panel is now working. I don't know if this will apply to everyone but I figured I would add my two cents.
