Windows 10: .NET Framework 3.5 includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0 Error code: 0x80070422

I downloaded a game called "Stranded Deep" from Steam and as I launched the game I was told that the game needed .NET Framework 3.5 includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0. I clicked "Download and install this feature" and a progress bar filled about half way before stopping and telling me that .NET 3.5 couldn't be installed because "The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.". The error code was 0x80070422.

Unable to download any framework for .net - (error code 0x80070002)

OK, the Windows 10 Feature installation method should have been straightforward, but since that errored out as well, something else seems to be going on with your Windows, so wait for somebody with more experience to suggest a way out.

In the mean time, if you haven't already, you could give muchomurka's suggestion a go as well with the elevated prompt and an install media to see if it works. The following link shows the detailed steps involved.
