Windows 7 turn off features blank free.Fix for Blank or Empty Windows Features List in Vista and 7 |
- Resolved: "Turn Windows Features On or Off" is Blank in Windows 10
For convenience, the links to the Vista and 7 Readiness Tool are provided below. Once you have finished downloading the file, close all running programs and run it, the Readiness Tool has an extension of.
This will take a while, up to 10 or 15 minutes is possible, so be patient and let it finish. When installation has completed, click Close and restart your computer. Once Windows has booted, try running Windows Features optionalfeatures. IF not, continue to the next step.
The following steps are possibly going to be a little tricky because everyone gets different results in the log file. If there are errors, you will see a line starting with f followed by an error code and path. If you see fix on the next line below the f , it means the tool managed to fix that particular error.
Now you will need to manually delete the related registry keys according to what you see in the CheckSUR. Run regedit and go to the following location. As long as the whole name matches without the extension, you can delete it. You WILL need to set full control permission before you can delete the corrupted registry key. Refer to this article on how to set the permissions for the key. After deleting all the corrupted registry keys, the Windows Features should start to show in the list.
The good thing about running the System Update Readiness Tool is it might fix some other problems which you are probably not aware of. Thank you so much for leaving this article posted. It just helped me solve a windows update issue in Windows But then the cbs log file listed problem packages just like you mention in your article. I found these in the registry and deleted following your instructions.
In my case their was one problem package … looking at the details of the registry entries it was pointing to the D: drive in my computer which I replaced quite awhile ago. After that then the Windows Features worked again, so I tried windows update and it worked!
Problem solved thanks to you! Great job. It works. Thank you! Initially I had errors. They all seemed to be related to the same package that was missing. Instead of deleting the registry entries I followed the steps in this article to download the missing package, re-run the readiness tool, and it resolved those errors and the features list is also showing! At this stage, one can delete whatever key they wish. Very thorough, accurate, and easy to follow instructions with very useful figures.
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide this information. Thank you — deleting those keys referring to the. Should we follow the above steps 1 to 7? Please advise. Thank you so much. The instructions were clear and even talked about the pitfalls I encountered along the way. This solve my issue! Any suggestions please? Same here, solved disabling sleep and leaving overnight. For people who got blank CheckSUR.
Just install the System Update Readiness Tool properly at first it may take some time just be patient. Thanks for the information, but the blank windows features dialog problem still persists. I followed the steps, but 3 of the errors found were different and not fixed.
Binary Version 6. Total count: 1. I did all the steps you wrote above. Inclusive the step 7. Here you can see a copy of the CheckSUR. I tried it more times, also after rebooting the system. Do you have an answer? I had to go in an delete 2 packages. I expected to find 1 entry. There were entries. Delete them all. I did an features came back.
Great tutorial. Is there any way automated method to delete them? With so many manual deletions it would be difficult to check the names of each one carefully. Thank you very much! Finding and deleting the MUM in regedit was the only thing that worked after running the system readiness tool.
I went through re-adding all of the missing mum files, but system check insisted there was one that was still missing. That was the fix, the removal of the registry key of the last mum still causing an error that I was unable to fix. Definitely related to a crappy MS update. Well presented, professional fix to the blank Windows Features screen.
Nice Work. Well, I had run that before, and I still had the blank list problem, as well as not being able to get any Windows Updates to work. Amazing, I had tried a bunch of stuff I found suggested, none of it worked. Oh WOW, It actually worked! After countless searches and and blogs read and numerous attempts to correct this problem and after 4 LONG years, my Turn Windows features on or off box actually has programs in it again!
This seems to be the only blogpost describing a method that actually works. That being said, I would like to add the caveat that the stated runtime of 10 to 15 minutes might be a tad optimistic. In my case the program ran for 3 hours and 48 minutes. Since the program reported unfixed errors, I had to write a program to delete them all. After deleting a further 53 keys related to the infamous KB, Windows Update is also working again. Thanks for your help.
This, with the raymond. RunAsSystem did not work for me. However, using Regedit started normally, I was able to change ownership of Packages and all below it so I was able to follow the rest of the instructions in this article, which did solve the problem.
Thanks a lot! Non of the other except removing items mentioned in CheckSUR. Awesome article! Worked like a charm. I read the CheckSUR. Thanks you for read my comment, if anyone have any idea how to fix it, I need your help. Thanks for this easy to follow guide. Luckily the log file only showed one error; getting rid of that in the registry, no reboot required, now I can edit the Features list.
The first time, when the checksur stopped running in the background, it just disappeared. Any other suggestions? Amazingly, it worked!!!!!! I just took ownership of the keys and subkeys in RegEdit as a local Administrator and changed their permissions to Full Control before deleting the key.
System: Win 7 x64 Ultimate SP1. Is this meaning its still preparing to install or — actually installing and scanning as mentioned in the instructions?
Thank you for all advice. This did work for me using the regristrar software. Quite a lot of fiddling but solved the persisting problem.
Thanks so much! This did the trick for me. When running regedit as the system account, the component based servicing folder does not contain the packages folder, did anyone else have this issue?
