I managed to install RSAT in W11 by following the registry fix, remember to backup your registry before attempting this.
1.-If you have a corporate computer or domain joined, most probably is you have WSUS, this has to be not present for RSAT to install, make sure the user is admin of the W11 machine temporaly or wont show up in Additional features.
2.-Install RSAT KB from Microsoft page.
3.-Stop Windows Update Service
4.-Navigate your Regedit.exe - "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU" , set UseWUServer key to 0.
5.-Start Windows Update Service
6.-Install now RSAT either using GUI or Powershell or CMD, will work.
Cant believe just yet this is the only way to get through , also, that new error message "couldn't install" Is the most frustrating thing I had ever seen. It does not helps at all! Hope Microsoft does changes that!
Cheers!
