Resolution:

  • You may try a System Restore. Select any earlier restore point when there was no such issue.
  • Open Command Prompt as Admin and type the following command followed by hitting the Enter key:

sfc /scannow

Again open Command Prompt as Admin and type the following command followed by hitting the Enter key:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

  • Open the Run menu by using Win + R keys.
  • Type services.msc and press Enter.
  • Locate the service named Windows Modules Installer.
  • Right-click on it and select Restart.

If your Windows version has Group Policy:

  • In Run menu type gpedit.msc. Press Enter.
  • Go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Control Panel > Programs.
  • Look for a policy named Hide “Windows Features”.
  • If the policy is set to Enabled, double-click it and select Disabled. Click Apply and OK.
  • Restart your computer.
