Some programs and features included with Windows, such as Internet Information Services,
must be turned on before you can use them. Certain other features are turned on by
default, but you can turn them off if you don’t use them.

Turning off a feature doesn't uninstall it from your PC or reduce the amount of hard drive
space used by it. After you turn off a feature, you can turn it back on at any time.

This tutorial will show you how to turn Windows features on or off for all users
in Windows 10.

You must be signed in as an administrator to be able to turn Windows features on or off.

If Windows Features is empty or blank, then double check to make sure that the Windows
Modules Installer service is enabled and set to Automatic.
