Windows 10: Add optional feature to install SSH through command line

I am trying to enable SSH through https://www.howtogeek.com/336775/how...-ssh-commands/ but when I go to add an optional feature I see no options in the list (Screenshot attached). I have version 1709 so should be on the correct version? Hopefully this isn't a silly mistake but would appreciate any help






:)

 

No Features to Install Under Optional Features?

Same issue - looking to install ssh not a langpack. Fast track; recently completed a "fresh start" reinstall.

Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -online | ? { $_.FeatureName -like "*ssh*" } | FT

returns nothing

manage optional features > Add a feature

results in "no features to install"

any ideas?

 

SSH client/server? VPN? RDP?

An icon for SSH? Have you used open ssh before?



OpenSSH is a command line tool.. you can use the SSH client by running it in an x terminal:



ssh -l username remotehost



will log into a system called remotehost using the username "username"



It doesn't have an icon and can't be launched / used in that way...

 

Please type regedit.exe into Start Menu to open registry editor.

Navigate to:

KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU

Ifthere's a value called UseWUServer, double click it to set data value to 0 or delete the UseWUServer, value and restart your computer.

Hopefully this will resolve your issue.

 

Hi FreeBooter, I do not have a entry for UseWUServer however the WSUS server is configured in WUServer. Is that restricting the installation of optional features?

 

You have to check AU registry key for UseWUServer value.

You don't have to worry about WUServer if you can update your computer from Settings ---> Update and Security --> Windows Update.



Open the Command Prompt as a administrator.
