When you have to add or remove functionality to your computer, this guide can help you manage Windows 10's "optional features."
Windows 10 is a sophisticated OS that includes an extensive array of features, some of which you have to turn on or off as needed. These are known as "optional features," and they're available through the "Windows Features" page in Control Panel. While most of them are meant to add server functionality to your computer, there are some features that are useful for all users.
These optional features can't be entirely removed from your device, and they'll continue to use space on your hard drive, but depending on the functionalities required, you can enable or disable them as needed. Many of these Windows 10 features are advanced, and turning them on could potentially make your computer vulnerable or slow if you don't know how to configure them correctly.
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the steps to optional features turn on and off, and we'll provide details on what they are.
•How to manage optional features using Control Panel
Although Windows 10 includes the Settings app, you still need to use Control Panel to manage optional features on your computer, if you want to create virtual machines using Hyper-V, use Internet Information Services (IIS) to set up an FTP server, or add the Linux Bash command-line tool.
Here's how to turn on or off optional features on Windows 10 using Control Panel:
•Open Control Panel.
•Click on Programs.
•Click the Turn Windows features on or off link.
•On Windows Features, check or clear the feature you want.
The optional features available will depend on the edition of Windows 10 installed on your computer. For example, even though, you can manage features on Windows 10 Home and Pro, some advanced features won't be available in the Home version of the OS.
Here's a list with a description of the features you can enable or disable in Windows 10 Pro:
•.NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0): This feature is essential to run applications built using Microsoft .NET software framework version 3.5 or older. You can safely enable earlier support, but usually it'll turn on automatically when needed.
•.NET Framework 4.6 Advanced Services: You'll need to enable this feature for apps built with version 4.6 of the framework.
•Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services: Adds Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) support for directory-enabled applications. This is an alternative to Windows Active Directory, which is a more complex directory solution. Usually, you'll need this feature in certain corporate network scenarios.
•Containers: Provides services and tools to create and manage Windows Server Containers and Hyper-V containers on your desktop.
The Settings app also includes a section to manage optional features, but it's not the same as the one in Control Panel. It's only a place to manage particular modern Windows 10 features, such as Windows Developer Mode, Contact Support, and Microsoft Quick Assist.
To manage optional features using the Settings app on Windows 10, do the following:
•Open Settings.
•Click on System.
•Click on Apps & features.
•Click the Manage optional features link.
While it can be good to have a basic understanding of these optional features and how to manage them, for the most part, regular users don't have to worry about them. Windows 10 and applications are typically smart enough to detect and automatically turn on features as needed.
However, sometimes there are particular scenarios where you may need to turn on or off an optional feature manually. For example, when you want to test upcoming features of Windows 10 using a virtual machine using Microsoft's Hyper-V virtualization tool. Of if you're a developer working on Windows and Linux, and you need a command-line tool like the Bash shell on Ubuntu. Or when you want to set up an FTP server to create your private cloud and share files without restrictions.
The list of features we mentioned in this guide covers all the ones included with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, but remember that they can change in future releases.
