@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!

@ammarjaved 

Hello please update the manual, Optional features were moved under Settings -> System

[#4]

this is an official Microsoft explanation ? you only list from the power shell and you go to settings ?
you cannot install it using PowerShell ?

from PowerShell 

Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online | Add-WindowsCapability -Online

this will install it also, no need mouse and spend time searching menus

[#5]

It might be at "System" atleast it was for me

Some readers might not know that you are calling the Windows PowerShell a "Command Prompt". The two are not interchangeable...

Hi, content update Needs to be updated.

The admin powershell script from jorel is very good.

I was using only this line to install fast :

Get-WindowsCapability -Name RSAT* -Online | Add-WindowsCapability –Online

But now I will use your script.

Thanks!

Is this feature available in Windows 11 Home edition?

Doesnt work on windows 11:

'Get-WindowsCapability' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Dial-in tab is not available in the Active Directory Users and Computers MMC snap-in after you install Remote Server Administration Tools.
Does anyone know to install / register the relative dll or any other way to enable it?

Thank you in advance

A free and helpful installation tutorial is required.

Thank you, this Powershell option worked better than other methods!

@EdieE1835 It's now located under System > Optional Features > Add an Optional Feature > View Features

[#17]

@EdieE1835 
To do this, just go to the search box and type "Optional Resources"

"download the Windows 10 file"
That cause some other background process to relaunch repeatedly. I forget what it was, but my event viewer had hundreds of restarts.
