How do I turn a Windows feature on/off from the command line in Windows 10? [closed]

Answer 1

To enable and disable features on a client machine of Windows using PowerShell, the cmdlet you have to use is:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature

For example, with Windows 10 and NetFX 3, I would check if the feature is enabled with

Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online | Where-Object -FilterScript {$_.featurename -Like "*netfx3*"}

If not enabled, run this to enable it:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "NetFx3" -Source "SourcePath"
