    Hi Ethelwulf,

    I read a workaround somewhere (not sure if this is the right way moving forward).
    Download and install 'Install.NET Framework 3.5 via DISM' (Offline install of .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows 10 using DISM) and restart your system, it might start working.

    Good luck *Smile

    I think some of the features that are supported in 3.5 are not supported in 4.6, due to which you would need to install 3.5 separately.

    someone recommended downloading the file "net35_[winaero.com]_1620" for installing it.

    Hope it works
