Hi,

Thanks for your question.

1. What is the version of your computer? enable-WindowsOptionalFeature is a Windows 8+ unique command. The PowerShell cmdlet only uses the DISM module to add/remove Windows features. For this, it requires the DISM version included with Windows 8+.

So try the following command "Get-Module dism" to check if your module is included in your computer.

2. In addition, you need to run this command with elevated administrator privileges.

Best regards,

Lee

Just do it.
