Hello everyone,

I noticed that Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Subsystem for Linux are missing from the Optional Feature list.
Is there a way that I can install the optional feature that is not found in the list?

I have tried to run the PowerShell command to install the two features, but I get an error.
Code:
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName VirtualMachinePlatform

Two of the features are missing from the list when I run the command Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online.
I have attached my preset here that uses for Windows 11 24H2 and the ISO comes from UUP DUMP, Windows 11, version 24H2 (26100.2605) amd64.

My current solution is to reset the Windows by reinstalling the Windows by using Windows Update, but I'm looking for a better solution.

The first mistake was installing the 24H2 update


I had problems too, so I saved a page from Microsoft with the names of all the Features.

Try the Powershell-Command

Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name “FeatureName*”

to install Dependencies Enter the FeatureName you want in the -Name " *" entry and it should work.

Microsoft-Link

The * signals Powershell to search for all, what has to do with it, and install the latest Version.

I think this can help you:

Type in Powershell

Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name “Accessibility.Braille*”

If this not run a setup than

Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name “Accessibility.Braille~~~~0.0.1.0”



Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All

and
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "VirtualMachinePlatform"

and if you want, the WindowsSandbox

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "Containers-DisposableClientVM"

than check with

get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online

whether the Function is now activated


hope this helps :)
