Hi,

Is there any change from the Microsoft side for adding optional Windows 10 and 11 features like ADS Tools through the APPs container instead of using PowerShell? It seems missing now.

Thanks.

    Optional features has been moved to system section is Setting App recently.

    Open Settings > System then scroll down to the button, you will see "Optional Features".

    No answer answered the question. I've upgraded a Windows 10 Home to Windows 11 Pro (at least settings says that) and I do not see Windows Features.

    By searching for Optional Features I was able to add many and finally saw that dialog that I was used to seeing in earlier versions of Windows (earlier than 10). I was able to add IIS there.
