RSAT unavailable on 1903 Version - No features available after a looooong wait - Error code = 0x800f0954

Question

_{Tuesday, September 3, 2019 2:19 PM}

I´ve just upgraded my 1803 version to 1903, keeping all the apps, softwares, configs, etc.

Now, my old RSAT is unavailable

So´, im tying to re-install RSAT back using the following article:

https://www.prajwaldesai.com/install-rsat-tools-on-windows-10-version-1809/#targetText=Method%201%20%E2%80%93%20Using%20Add%20a,features%2C%20click%20Manage%20optional%20features.

But when i click the "add a feature", asks for admin privileges, take a looog time and nothing... no app available as the article mentions, nothing to add, an empty list.

So, i tried to use a Tech Gallery Script (https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Install-RSAT-for-Windows-75f5f92f) and the errors were:

VERBOSE: Running correct Windows 10 build number for installing RSAT with Features on Demand. Build number is: 18362

Hi,

If you encountered RSAT tools installation error 0x800f0954.

Please try the steps below:

Run "gpedit.msc" to edit your local computer policy The setting in question is:

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair

Right click policy setting and click Enabled.

In addition to that, check the box “Download repair content and optional features directly from Windows Updates instead of Windows Server Updates Services (WSUS)“.

Click Apply and OK.

Running the same DISM command now should install the RSAT feature without any errors.

Hope this can help you.
