Windows Features not found

from Stardock Forums

If I hit the Start key on keyboard, type "windows feat", and click the "Turn Windows features on and off" setting that comes up, it says it can't find "servermanager.exe" and fails. I'm looking for the same dialog I get when I do the same in default windows start menu, the dialog to install Hyper-V, WSL, Sandbox, etc.

I don't understand the options at all when I do the same searching for "Optional features". Several options and they mostly go to the same place. A different place than with the default Windows Start Menu, which is Settings -> Apps -> Optional Features.

I have been able to reproduce this.  We will look into why it is pointing to a bad file.

The Start11 shortcut is pointing to servermanager.exe, however, in windows 11 this has been renamed to OptionalFeatures.exe

 

workaround is to go to C:\Users\YOUR-WINDOWS-USER\AppData\Local\Stardock\Start10Ctrlpnl

and edit properties of Turn Windows Features on or off shortcut to change target path to %windir%\system32\OptionalFeatures.exe

This should be addressed in the 1.17 beta update.
