Windows 10: Cannot install NetFx3 feature without sources after installation of KB4458469

Using Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature, I can no longer install NetFx3 (.NET Framework 3.5) after installation of KB4458469 (cumulative update 2018-09). Here are the steps I have performed:

1. Before the installation of KB4458469 I am able to install NetFx3. The following command succeeds:
   Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName NetFx3 -Online
2. I uninstall it immediately afterwards, and reboot my pc as requested:
   Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName NetFx3 -Online
3. I run Windows Update, which installs KB4458469 and 2 Windows Defender updates (KB2267602 and KB4052623).
4. Now I can no longer install NetFx3. The following command fails:
   Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName NetFx3 -Online

Here is the output:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature : Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature failed. Error code = 0x800f0950
At line:1 char:1
+ enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName NetFx3 -Online
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: ) [Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature], COMException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Dism.Commands.EnableWindowsOptionalFeatureCommand


I know this can be solved by supplying the Windows installation sources, but I don't want to have to have these around when I need to install NetFx3.


Is there something I can do before or after the update so I can install NetFx3 (without sources) after the installation of KB4458469?

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
