Problem:

When attempting to enable Hyper-V from settings turn windows features on or off I get this error:

When trying the Powershell way I also get error:

PS C:Windowssystem32> Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V -All

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature : The referenced assembly could not be found.

At line:1 char:1

+ Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V  ...

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature], COMException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Dism.Commands.EnableWindowsOptionalFeatureCommand

I seem to have all the requirements to use Hyper-V so what is stopping me from enabling Hyper-V? Also I have a recent clean install of Windows so there shouldn't be any mess here.

i thought I need some packages, some update maybe. But Windows says there is no update available...

Attempted solutions from here:
- Cannot Enable Hyper-V on my machine

Edit:
Failure doesn't seem to be specific to Hyper-V. Trying to turn on another feature (.NET framework 3.5) from the GUI Turn Windows features on or off results in the same error code as displayed in the picture above.

Question is then: How can I further troubleshoot to find out what is stopping turn windows features on/off from completing turning features on?

Edit - Trying answer from Daniel B.

I tried deleting the registry subkeys under PackageDetect but that gives an error:

Manually deleting one and one doesn't work either.

I tried the Powershell way, but I lack skills there.

Remove-Item -Path 'HKLM:SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionComponent Based ServicingPackageDetect*' -Recurse

Remove-Item : Cannot find path 'HKLM:SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionComponent Based ServicingPackageDetect' because it does not exist.

    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (HKLM:SOFTWARE...gPackageDetect:String) [Remove-Item], ItemNotFoundException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RemoveItemCommand

And yeah, I'm doing this as administrator.

There was also a suggestion to remove any extra language packs. I have only English now and I still can't enable Hyper-V

Edit - providing error from fuslogvw

Installed .NET Framework 4.7.2 Developer Pack and used the fuslogvw.exe tool located at C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft SDKsWindowsv10.0AbinNETFX 4.7.2 Tools. Must be ran as administrator, from settings turned on Log bind failures to disk and triggered the error using the powershell command to enable Hyper-V(error NOT triggered with gui/turn windows features on/off). Refreshing the list gave the errors, click View Log to get a the errors as a textfile.

I don't have a directory called Microsoft.Dism.PowerShell.dll. I guess that's a problem.

I also don't have the directory at WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/Modules/Dism/Microsoft.Dism.PowerShell.dll.

Why is this? What are the options for fixing this? Repare windows? Though it's not even a month ago I reinstalled windows 10.

When searching the Internet for the error you experience, one solution keeps popping up: Deleting all subkeys under the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionComponent Based ServicingPackageDetect

(See here for example.)

This is obviously the nuclear option and you should create a full backup of your system before making the changes. It could permanently break Windows CBS, ie. Windows Update, Windows Features, everything.

Apparently the root cause is your PC thinking that some language pack is installed when it really is not, leading to “missing” files.

Well, this is awkward.

I decided to reinstall windows 10 Edu again. The process went as followed:

Using Windows MediaCreationTool I put the ISO on a usb stick. Still on windows I just double clicked the setup.

Then I went through the menus and reinstalled windows, keeping all my files and such. No major thing.

The install went fine, windows reboots.

I go to Turn Windows Features on or off. I notice that .NET Framework 3.5 was NOT ticked. I remembered reading something about Hyper-V and .NET, I ticked the box. .NET installs. Then i tick Hyper-V, and Hyper-V install just fine. Docker installs fine too now.

I can't remember if .NET 3.5 was ticked before, but atleast something got solved now. Maybe it was a reinstall of windows or .NET 3.5. I don't know.
