Windows 10 Enabling Linux Subsystem error

[HCStrike]

When running the command Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux in powershell running as admin I get the following error after a short while

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature : The referenced assembly could not be found.
At line:1 char:1
+ Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows- ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature], COMException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Dism.Commands.EnableWindowsOptionalFeatureCommand

 

If I try to enable the subsystem in the windows features dialogue I get an error 0x80073701.

 

Any ideas?

How about trying to do it via the Programs & Features', Optional Features panel?

Also, is your region and language of the system correct? (restart the computer after changing it is wrong)

Like I said, if I do it through the windows feature dialogue that's when I get the 0x80073701 error and yes my region and language are both correct

Sorry missed it.

Do you have the folder 'lxss'? in:

C:\Users\<Account Name>\AppData\Local\
