I encountered difficulties when disabling Windows features on my Windows 11 computer

I'm having trouble disabling certain Windows features on my Windows 11 computer—the process either stalls indefinitely or the changes don't take effect after multiple restarts. I've tried using both the Control Panel and PowerShell, but I keep getting error messages or the features remain active, and I'm not sure what's blocking the modifications.

    A repair install or system reset might be necessary, especially if system corruption is involved.

    Can you share us which features you're trying to disable and unable to do so.

    I believe, some features might be required by the system, hence can't be disabled.
