I have been having problems with my Windows 10 (for example my localhost:8000
). So I started looking for an answer, and it looks like the good old IIS is causing this issue, maybe because it's not enable in the turn Windows features on/off. SO in theory it should be a piece of cake right? Well when I click next I get the following message:
Windows couldn't complete the requested changes. The function attempted to use a name that is reserved for use by another transaction. Error code: 0x80071A90
I read somewhere that it may be related to the .NET Framework, I have Framework 3.5 and 4.6 installed. I have tried all possible combinations, enable both of them, disable both, only one, everything! Not real information around regarding the Error code either.
Does it have something to do with the version of Windows that I have? Which is Windows Home. Is there any other way to make it work? Thank you in advance for your input.
Press the Windows Key and type Windows Features, select the first entry Turn Windows Features On or Off. Make sure the box next to IIS is checked. If it is not checked, check it.
On the Start menu, click All Programs, click Accessories, and then click Run. In the Open box, type inetmgr and then click OK.
As this is one of the first hits when you search for that error message posting solution here...
If you get this error when trying to "Turn Windows features on or off" in Windows 10 - make sure to disable Antivirus program.
Culprit for me was Avast.
To disable Avast right click on the icon in task-bar -> Avast shields control -> Disable until computer is restarted.
After Avast was disabled I had no problems with adding new features.
