Activate Windows features or Off is empty

I have this same problem with Win7 Ultimate.  Activate Windows features or Off empty.  UAC works correctly, I tried sfc/scannow and it found no problem, System Restore tried without success, haven't tried System Update Readiness Tool - nothing works.  Still a Virgin.

  • The "Windows features" dialog box is empty in Windows 7

    When I click on turn on or off Windows features in the programs and features Control Panel, the Windows features dialog box is empty, no functionality is displayed. What should I do?

    Thank you buddy, but sfc.exe/scannow not worked and I faced another error! (windows resource protection could not start the repair service).

    Finally, I found the solution:
    (1) If you receive the error "Registry space" low, set the size limit of the registry to "unlimited":
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
    Key: RegistrySizeLimit
    Type: REG_DWORD
    Value: 0xffffff (4294967295)
    (2) restart
    (3) as administrator, open a command prompt and run "SFC/scannow". The command should complete successfully and when errors have been detected, they should be corrected.
    Follow the steps and good luck!

    This problem has been resolved. As my pc was a new purchase, the issue ended up being that the seller installed windows 8 home edition not pro. As soon as I reinstalled the pro version of windows 8, hyper-v settings appeared.

If a box is partially checked or is dimmed, then some items in the folder are turned on and some are turned off. To enlarge and view the contents of a folder, double-click it. Pointing the mouse on a file will give you a pop-up description of the feature.
    6. To disable a Windows feature - Disable the selected feature.

  • Turn Windows features on or off - games and IE are mutually exclusive?

    When I activate the games help to turn Windows features on or off, IE11 is deleted from my computer and is no longer visible as an option to activate Windows features On or Off.  It is a 2 - day old HP Probook running Windows 7 Professional.

    I wanted to use telnet.  I went to the command prompt and enter the name of the telnet server.  He received a message indicating that it does not recognize the telnet command.  I thought that it had to be turned on in Windows (features) components.  I went to the Control Panel, get the programs, and then turn on or off Windows features enable.  Completely empty the box that opens.   There is no options to check or uncheck.  It is completely empty.  How can I get the Windows features in there?

  • "Turn on or off windows features" is disabled through local politics.

    Basically, I have a PC when I try Windows features turn on or turn off, it comes up saying I need a system administrator. I am the system administrator, I have rights to the domain. From what I understand, this is local politics, but I can't find the specific entry to activate specifically for this.

    I found the info, thank you.

    I looked in the Local Group Policy Editor and found that the two keys that touched this are as follows:

    Configuration - Administrative Templates - user Add or Remove Programs - Hide Add/Remove Windows components Page (not configured).

    Configuration - Administrative Templates - user control panel - programs - hide "Windows features" (activated). Changed to not configured.

  • Tower or disable Windows features displays the empty dialog box

    I go to control panel > programs and features and click then on "Turn Windows features on or off". I get called "Windows features" dialog box that says "Please Wait". After 45 seconds, this dialog box becomes empty and nothing is displayed.

    I ran the twice System File Checker, but it shows no problem. I did repair Startup (by pressing F8 key so that Vista boots) but the problem persists.

    As suggested on some websites of support, at the command prompt, I have ran reg delete HKLM\COMPONENTS /v StoreDirty but had "error: the system was unable to find the specified registry or the value key.

    I tried http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931712 and it's of no use to me.

    I can't do a system restore I don't know since when this problem started can be 1 month back or can be 6 months because previously I had no need to turn on the features of vista as an option.

    I use a stand-alone HP laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz) with Vista home premium pre-installed, and I also installed SP1. Please do not suggest format me my laptop and do a fresh install of vista that HP never gave me the operating system DVD.

    What should I do now? Help, please!

    Hey Anshul Rastogi,

    Thank you for your response.

    You are able to run updates on your system?

    If Yes please make sure you have all the updates installed on your system.

    Please see the following article to guide you through some troubleshooting steps: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934538

    Please perform a system update and also walk through the troubleshooting steps in the above article and let us know if any of the two solves your problem then that otherwise we can take the next step and find a solution for you. The next step is to restore your system back a month to see if this is useful, and if not then do a restore of the system to the next restore until you find one that allows your system to the function you are eager to point.
