You can expand the feature to see which of its subfeatures are and aren’t enabled.Ĭlick “OK” and Windows will apply whatever changes you made. If you see a square in a box, the feature contains multiple sub-features and only some of them are enabled. If a feature doesn’t have a checkmark, it’s disabled. If a feature has a checkmark next to it, it’s enabled. The list of available Windows features appears. You can also press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog, type “optionalfeatures”, and press Enter. To do so, open the Start menu, type “optionalfeatures”, and press Enter.
