Всем привет! Сегодня мы поговорим про включение и отключение компонентов в системе. Мы посмотрим, как их открыть в любой из существующих версий Windows (10, 11, 7 или 8). Я расскажу вам, как установить или наоборот выключить дополнительные пакеты, которые система использует для работы с определенными программами или протоколами.

Способ 1: Панель управления
Давайте посмотрим, как же нам открыть раздел Windows Features на любой версии Windows (10, 11, 8, 8.1, 7, XP и т.д.). Для этого мы можем воспользоваться «Панелью управления». Хорошо, что её пока не выпилили на свежих версиях «Окон».
ВНИМАНИЕ! Еще один важный момент – через «Панель управления» можно включить и отключить компоненты, которые уже установлены в системе. Если же вам нужно установить какие-то компоненты, которых еще нет в ОС, то используем вариант с использованием параметров системы (две следующие главы).
- Одновременно зажимаем клавиши:
+ R
- Теперь открываем пункт:
appwiz.cpl
- Слева выберите ту же ссылку, как на картинке ниже.
- Теперь включаем или отключаем нужные компоненты и жмем «ОК». Если вас попросят перезапустить систему – сделайте это, чтобы изменения вступили в силу.
Открыть и установить компоненты в Windows 10 можно через стандартное меню системы.
- Откройте «Пуск» и зайдите в «Параметры».
- Среди всего многообразия найдите раздел «Приложения».
- В правой области окошка найдите ссылку «Дополнительные параметры».
- Если вам нужно добавить пакет, в самом верху нажмите по значку плюсика.
- Выделяем нужный и жмем по кнопке установки. Вы также можете воспользоваться строкой поиска. Компонент будет загружен с сервера и установлен к вам на компьютер.
- Если же вам нужно наоборот удалить пакет – просто выберите его из списка ниже, кликните по нему левой кнопкой мыши и выберите команду «Удалить».
Способ 3: Параметры Windows 11
- Чтобы быстро открыть параметры системы одновременно зажмите две клавиши:
+ I
- В левом блоке выберите раздел «Приложения».
- Далее справа находим пункт «Дополнительные компоненты».
- Внизу вы увидите список уже установленных пакетов, если вам нужно что-то выключить, находим нужный, выделяем и деактивируем. Если же вам нужно что-то установить – в самом верху нажмите по кнопке «Посмотреть функции».
- Все аналогично как и в десятой версии «Окон», находим нужный компонент, выделяем и жмем «Далее». После этого устанавливаем к себе в операционную систему.
Способ 4: Командная строка
Инсталлировать дополнительный пакет можно с помощью консоли. Для этого запускаем командную строку с правами администратора. Сначала нам нужно узнать список всех доступных компонентов. Также вы увидите, что уже установлено. Вводим:
Dism /online /Get-Features
Как только вы нашли нужный пакет, используем команду установки:
Dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:ИМЯ_КОМПОНЕНТА /All
После этого он будет установлен. Напомню, что таким же образом можно использовать команды для скриптов, которые запускаются из-под Windows. На этом все, дорогие друзья портала WiFiGiD.RU. Если что-то осталось неясным – пишите в комментариях.
