abbodi1406 Here is the result from running DISM to add the feature using the method you suggested.

dism /online /add-package /packagepath:C:\temp\netfx3\update.mum

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.17763.3406

Image Version: 10.0.17763.4499

Yet, when I check my installed/enabled Windows Features

    Hi, I have exactly the same situation so I'm interested: Has someone found a solution?

    Well, I just followed the steps as described by abbodi1406 on ‎Jun 21 2023 02:21 PM and for me this works great, after the last step I get this :

     

     

    get-windowsfeature -name net-framework-features,net-framework-core,net-http-activation,net-non-http-activ

Display Name                                            Name                       Install State
------------                                            ----                       -------------
[X] .NET Framework 3.5 Features                         NET-Framework-Features         Installed
    [X] .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)  NET-Framework-Core             Installed
    [ ] HTTP Activation                                 NET-HTTP-Activation            Available
    [ ] Non-HTTP Activation                             NET-Non-HTTP-Activ             Available
