I am running Windows 11 Pro 23H2, and I found that optional features are now located at SETTINGS | SYSTEM | OPTIONAL FEATURES, and then click the "View Features" button at the top of the window. You can just check the boxes of each of the RSAT tool features you want installed, no powershell scripts required.

    MN_Brett315 your reply was exactly what " I " was seeking on this issue.  All of the other replies would have sent me off on tangents I do not have time to apply to the situation.  Glad I read through ALL of the replies & stumbled upon yours.  THANK YOU!

    Hi,

     

    If that is some home pc, then no problems. Problem appears, when you have company computer, where WSUS is used. Then this update does not work, because of Registry settings, which are pointing to WSUS. If you manually remove WSUS parameter (change 1 to 0) then it works, but you spend almost 8 hours, to install all RSAT* features. It is nightmare, trust me.

     

    Imagine, if you need to install RSAT on 10 computers, what you will do? 🙂

     

    Regards,

    Andrejs
