Hi, content update Needs to be updated.

romariormr I am including both steps here.Run PowerShell as admin, then: # Get RSAT items that are not currently installed: $install = Get-WindowsCapability -Online | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "RSAT*" -AND $_.State -eq "NotPresent"} # Install the RSAT items that meet the filter: foreach ($item in $install) { try { Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name $item.name } catch [System.Exception] { Write-Warning -Message $_.Exception.Message } }

Hello, Good day, **2025**To install/add RSAT on Windows 11 24H2 / 23H2, please use the following path==> System - Optional features - View features - Add feature RSAT.Insert / ADDMustafa

Step 2 should say to open POWERSHELL with admin privs.

This is a great tutorial, thank you

  EdieE1835 got to Settings > System > Optional Features. Click on View features on the tab "Add an optional feature". Once you click on View Features, you'll find RSAT there.

    Then most likely, you have a home or school version. RSAT is only for Pro and Enterprise.
