Optional Feature History Windows10

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Which version of Windows is currently installed on the system?
   

Developer mode will be installed on the system, if it is enabled in the Settings. Let us go ahead and check the settings to turn off Developer Features.

1. Navigate to Settings > Update and Security > For developer.
   
2. Under Use developer features
   check if Developer mode is checked, Select Sideload Apps from the options, and Developer mode will get unchecked automatically.
   
3. After this steps, check for Windows update, and all the features should be installed automatically.
   

If you still face the issue, reply to this post with answers to the question above.



Hope it helps.
