Media Feature Pack missing?

Hi Joshua,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your Windows Media Feature Pack. You can download and install the Media Feature Pack for Windows 10 as an Optional Feature by following these steps:



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

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

You may also need to install additional apps from the Microsoft Store to regain additional functionality, such as media codecs, Skype, Movies & TV, Windows Media Player, etc.

Download the Feature Pack from Microsoft: If the Windows Media Feature Pack is not available in the optional features list, you can download it from the Microsoft website. Go to the Media Feature Pack download page for your version of Windows 10 (e.g., Windows 10 May 2019 Update) and click the download link. Follow the instructions to install the Feature Pack.

Check for Windows updates: Sometimes, missing optional features can be resolved by updating Windows.

Go to "Settings" > "Update & Security" > "Windows Update" and click "Check for updates".

If there are updates available, download and install them. Then, restart your computer and check if the Windows Media Feature Pack is available in the optional features list.

If none of the above steps work, you can try performing a repair installation of Windows 10.

This will reinstall Windows 10 without deleting your personal files and applications. However, it's always a good idea to back up your important files before performing any major system changes.
