Answer 1

Check if this feature is deployed:

At appwiz.cpl, select 'Turn Windows Features on or off', verify if Internet Information Services -> World Wide Web Services -> Security -> Windows Authentication is selected.

Answer 2

Windows 10 Home edition does not support windows authentication in IIS. Once you upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, you will see several additional features in IIS, including windows authentication.

Answer 3

Windows 10 Home edition doesn't include Windows Authentication (and a bunch of other IIS security features). However, the package with these features is sitting right there in your OS and you can manually install it.

All you need to do is open an elevated command prompt and run:

dism /online /norestart /add-package:%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-IIS-WebServer-AddOn-2-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.16299.15.mum

• Filename above may be slightly different since it's based on system bitness and version

Then just make your way back to:

Turn Windows features on or off > Internet Information Services > World Wide Web Services > Security

All the "pro" options under Security will be available. Simply check "Windows Authentication" and reboot.

Answer 4

Just rightclick on IIS and click open as 'Adminstrator'. Retry the same. It should work

Answer 5

To enable “Windows Authentication” either you need to upgrade the OS to Pro version or you can run this command to enable it.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>dism /online /norestart /add-package:%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-IIS-WebServer-AddOn-2-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.17134.1.mum

The file name will be different based on windows updates. So please update if requires.
