Windows 10: I have Windows 11 Home Edition. How can I get the Media Feature Pack?

Please don't tell me to go to Settings, and down to optional features. The Media Feature Pack is not on the list. I even used PowerShell, and it doesn't exist in my Windows 11 Home Edition. I need to download it from a Microsoft site. Is there a place to do this?

Windows 10 Home - Media Feature Pack

Hi Adam,

There is a big possibility that the version of the Media Feature Pack
that you're downloading is not compatible with the current version of your Windows. Let's try to check first your Windows version. See the steps below on how to do so:

• Press Windows key, then type in winver.
• A pop-up box will show up containing your Windows version.
• Send us a screenshot.

In the meantime, here are the Media Feature Pack for different Windows version:

• Media Feature Pack for N edition of Windows 10 Version 1703 (April 2017).
• Media Feature Pack for N editions of Windows 10 Version 1607.
  

Let us know which of the given links works.

 

Windows 10 21H1 Media Feature Pack Unavailable

I attempted to use PS Remote Play on my Windows 10 machine and was prompted to install the Media Feature Pack. I tried following the steps HERE for 20H1 as 21H1 is not listed, but the Media Feature pack is not listed in available features and in Windows Features, the Media Features option is selected already.

Appears that maybe Microsoft has not released a Media Feature pack for 21H1 yet. Has anyone found a work around or know a solution?

 

windows 11 media pack is missing

Hey Mike!

My name is Ravi, an independent advisor and expert user. I am happy to help you.

I understand how concerning it can be when there's no Media Feature Pack.

Windows 11 has the Media Feature Pack unless it's the N edition. Even for N editions, users can download and install the Media Feature Pack.

Could you please follow these steps?

1). Select the Start button, then select Settings > Apps > Apps and Features > Optional features > Add a feature.

2). Find the Media Feature Pack in the list of available optional features.

Feel free to get in touch again if you have any additional questions.

Cheers,

Ravi
