# Add or hide Windows features
|
||||
|
||||
Windows includes optional features that aren't installed by default, but you can add later. These features are called [Features on Demand](/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/features-on-demand-v2--capabilities), and can be installed at any time. Some of these features are language resources like language packs or handwriting support. On organization-owned devices, you can control access to these other features. You can use group policy or mobile device management (MDM) policies to hide the UI from users, or use Windows PowerShell to enable or disable specific features.
|
||||
|
||||
## Use the Windows Settings app to add or uninstall features
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows 11
|
||||
|
||||
1. Open the Start menu and search for **Settings**.
|
||||
|
||||
1. In the Settings app, search for "optional" and select **Optional features**.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!TIP]
|
||||
> You can also use the following shortcut to open it directly: [`ms-settings:optionalfeatures`](ms-settings:optionalfeatures).
|
||||
|
||||
1. To add a feature:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select **View features** next to "Add an optional feature."
|
||||
|
||||
1. Find the feature you want to add, like **XPS Viewer**. Select the box to add it. You can select multiple features.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select **Next**. Review the list of features you selected, and then select **Install** to add the selected features.
|
||||
|
||||
1. To uninstall a feature:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Search for it in the list of **Installed features**.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Expand the section, and select **Uninstall**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Windows 10
|
||||
|
||||
1. In the Search bar, search for "apps" and select **Apps and features**.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select **Optional features** > **Add a feature**.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select the feature you want to add, like **XPS Viewer**, and then select **Install.**
|
||||
|
||||
When the installation completes, the feature is listed in **Apps & features**. In **Apps & features** > **Optional features** > **More Windows features**, there are more features that you and your users can install.
|
||||
|
||||
To uninstall a feature, open the **Settings** app. Select the feature, and then select **Uninstall**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Use group policy or MDM policies to hide Windows features
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the OS might show Windows features and allow users to install and uninstall these optional apps and features. To hide Windows features on your user devices, you can use group policy or an MDM provider like Microsoft Intune.
|
||||
|
||||
### Group policy
|
||||
|
||||
If you use group policy, use the `User Configuration\Administrative Template\Control Panel\Programs\Hide "Windows Features"` policy. By default, this policy may be set to **Not configured**, which means users can add or remove features. When this setting is **Enabled**, the settings page to add optional features is hidden on the device.
|
||||
|
||||
You can't use group policy to disable specific Windows features, such as XPS Viewer. If you want to disable specific features, use [Windows PowerShell](#use-windows-powershell-to-disable-specific-features).
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to hide the entire **Apps** feature in the Settings app, use the `User Configuration\Administrative Template\Control Panel\Programs\Hide "Programs and Features" page` policy.
|
||||
|
||||
### MDM
|
||||
|
||||
Using Microsoft Intune, you can use [administrative templates](/mem/intune/configuration/administrative-templates-windows) or the [settings catalog](/mem/intune/configuration/settings-catalog) to hide Windows features.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to hide the entire **Apps** feature in the Settings app, you can use a configuration policy on Intune enrolled devices. For more information on the settings you can configure, see [Control Panel and Settings device restrictions in Microsoft Intune](/mem/intune/configuration/device-restrictions-windows-10#control-panel-and-settings).
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Windows PowerShell to disable specific features
|
||||
|
||||
To disable specific features, use the Windows PowerShell [Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature](/powershell/module/dism/disable-windowsoptionalfeature) cmdlet.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> There isn't a group policy that disables specific Windows features.
|
||||
|
||||
To automate disabling specific features, create a scheduled task to run a PowerShell script. For more information about Windows task scheduler, see [Task Scheduler for developers](/windows/win32/taskschd/task-scheduler-start-page).
|
||||
|
||||
Microsoft Intune can also run PowerShell scripts. For more information, see [Use PowerShell scripts on Windows client devices in Intune](/mem/intune/apps/intune-management-extension).
|
||||
|
||||
To enable specific features, use the [Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature](/powershell/module/dism/enable-windowsoptionalfeature) cmdlet.
|
||||
|
||||
Another useful PowerShell cmdlet is [Get-WindowsOptionalFeature](/powershell/module/dism/get-windowsoptionalfeature). Use this cmdlet to view information about optional features in the current OS or a mounted image. This cmdlet returns the current state of features, and whether a restart may be required when the state changes.

## Use group policy or MDM policies to hide Windows features
|
||||
|
||||
By default, the OS might show Windows features and allow users to add and remove these optional apps and features. To hide Windows features on your user devices, you can use group policy or an MDM provider like Microsoft Intune.
|
||||
|
||||
### Group policy

If you use group policy, use the `User Configuration\Administrative Template\Control Panel\Programs\Hide "Windows Features"` policy. By default, this policy might be set to **Not configured**, which means users can add or remove features. When this setting is **Enabled**, the settings page to add optional features is hidden on the device.

You can't use group policy to disable specific Windows features. If you want to disable specific features, use [Windows PowerShell](#use-windows-powershell-to-disable-specific-features).
|

If you want to hide the entire **Apps** feature in the Settings app, use the `User Configuration\Administrative Template\Control Panel\Programs\Hide "Programs and Features" page` policy.
|
||||
|
||||
### MDM
|
||||
|
||||
Using Microsoft Intune, you can use [administrative templates](/mem/intune/configuration/administrative-templates-windows) or the [settings catalog](/mem/intune/configuration/settings-catalog) to hide Windows features.
|

## Building
|
||||
|
||||
Prior to Windows 10, Microsoft released new versions of Windows every few years. This traditional deployment schedule imposed a training burden on users because the feature revisions were often significant. That schedule also meant waiting long periods without new features. That scenario doesn't always work in today's rapidly changing world, a world in which new security, management, and deployment capabilities are necessary to address challenges.
|
||||
|
||||
In the past, when Microsoft developed new versions of Windows, it typically released technical previews near the end of the process, when Windows was nearly ready to ship. With Windows 10, new features are delivered to the [Windows Insider Program](/windows-insider/) as soon as possible, during the development cycle, through a process called *flighting*. Organizations can see exactly what Microsoft is developing and start their testing as soon as possible.

Microsoft also depends on receiving feedback from organizations throughout the development process so that it can make adjustments as quickly as possible rather than waiting until after release.

## Servicing

Traditional Windows servicing has included several release types: major revisions (for example, the Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7 operating systems), service packs, and monthly updates. With Windows 10 and Windows 11, there are two release types: feature updates that add new functionality and quality updates that provide security and reliability fixes.

|
||||
- **Quality updates**: Updates that provide security and reliability fixes and can also add new functionality or features periodically.
|
||||
- **Feature updates**: Updates that are released once a year on which the [servicing timeline](/lifecycle/faq/windows#windows-11) for the operating system is based. These updates can contain new features and functionality and previously released quality updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Servicing channels are the first way to separate users into deployment groups for feature and quality updates.

You can deploy feature updates using existing management tools. These changes come in bite-sized chunks rather than all at once like in previous versions of Windows, decreasing user readiness time.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quality updates
|
||||
|
||||
Monthly updates in previous Windows versions were often overwhelming because of the sheer number of updates available each month. Many organizations selectively chose which updates they wanted to install and which they didn't, and this created countless scenarios in which organizations deployed essential security updates but picked only a subset of nonsecurity fixes.
|
||||
|
||||
Rather than receiving several updates each month and trying to figure out which the organization needs, which ultimately causes platform fragmentation, administrators see one cumulative monthly update that supersedes the previous month's update, containing both security and non-security fixes. This approach makes updating simpler and ensures that devices are more closely aligned with the testing done at Microsoft, reducing unexpected issues resulting from updates.

|
||||
|
||||
## Servicing channels
|
||||
|
||||
There are three servicing channels. The [Windows Insider Program](#windows-insider) provides organizations with the opportunity to test and provide feedback on features that will be shipped in the next feature update. The [General Availability Channel](#general-availability-channel) provides new functionality with feature update releases. Organizations can choose when to deploy updates from the General Availability Channel. The [Long-Term Servicing Channel](#long-term-servicing-channel), which is designed to be used only for specialized devices (which typically don't run Office) such as those that control medical equipment or ATM machines, receives new feature releases every two to three years. For more information about the versions in each servicing channel, see [Windows release information](/windows/release-health/).
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> Servicing channels aren't the only way to separate groups of devices when consuming updates. Each channel can contain subsets of devices, which staggers servicing even further. For information about the servicing strategy and ongoing deployment process for Windows 10, including the role of servicing channels, see [Plan servicing strategy for Windows client updates](waas-servicing-strategy-windows-10-updates.md).

|
||||
|
||||
### General Availability Channel
|
||||
|
||||
In the General Availability Channel, feature updates are available annually. This servicing model is ideal for pilot deployments and testing of feature updates and for users such as developers who need to work with the latest features. Once the latest release has gone through pilot deployment and testing, you'll be able to choose the timing at which it goes into broad deployment.
|
||||
|
||||
When Microsoft officially releases a feature update, we make it available to any device not configured to defer feature updates so that those devices can immediately install it. Organizations that use Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Microsoft Configuration Manager, or Windows Update for Business, however, can defer feature updates to selective devices by withholding their approval and deployment. In this scenario, the content available for the General Availability Channel is available but not necessarily immediately mandatory, depending on the policy of the management system. For more information about servicing tools, see [Servicing tools](#servicing-tools).

|

> All releases of Windows 10 have **18 months of servicing for all editions**--these updates provide security and feature updates for the release. However, fall releases of the **Enterprise and Education editions** will have an **additional 12 months of servicing for specific Windows 10 releases, for a total of 30 months from initial release**. This extended servicing window applies to Enterprise and Education editions starting with Windows 10, version 1607.

|
||||
|
||||
### Long-term Servicing Channel
|
||||
|
||||
Specialized systems—such as devices that control medical equipment, point-of-sale systems, and ATMs—often require a longer servicing option because of their purpose. These devices typically perform a single important task and don't need feature updates as frequently as other devices in the organization. It's more important that these devices be kept as stable and secure as possible than up to date with user interface changes. The LTSC servicing model prevents Enterprise LTSC devices from receiving the usual feature updates and provides only quality updates to ensure that device security stays up to date. With this in mind, quality updates are still immediately available to Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC clients, but customers can choose to defer them by using one of the servicing tools mentioned in the section Servicing tools.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|

>

||||
> The Long-term Servicing channel is not intended for deployment on most or all the devices in an organization; it should be used only for special-purpose devices.

|
||||
|

Microsoft never publishes feature updates through Windows Update on devices that run Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC. Instead, it typically offers new LTSC releases every 2-3 years, and organizations can choose to install them as in-place upgrades or even skip releases over the product's lifecycle. Always check your individual LTSC release to verify its servicing lifecycle.

There are many tools you can use to service Windows as a service. Each option has its pros and cons, ranging from capabilities and control to simplicity and low administrative requirements. The following are examples of the servicing tools available to manage Windows updates:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Windows Update (stand-alone)** provides limited control over feature updates, with IT pros manually configuring the device to be in the General Availability Channel. Organizations can target which devices defer updates by selecting the **Defer upgrades** check box in **Start\Settings\Update & Security\Advanced Options** on a Windows client device.
|
||||
- **Windows Update for Business** includes control over update deferment and provides centralized management using Group Policy or MDM. Windows Update for Business can be used to defer updates by up to 365 days, depending on the version. These deployment options are available to clients in the General Availability Channel. In addition to being able to use Group Policy to manage Windows Update for Business, either option can be configured without requiring any on-premises infrastructure by using Microsoft Intune.

# How to add fonts that are missing after upgrading to Windows client
|
||||
|
||||
*Applies to:*
|
||||
|
||||
- Windows 10
|
||||
- Windows 11
|
||||
|
||||
When you upgrade from the Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 operating system to Windows 10 or Windows 11, certain fonts are no longer available by default post-upgrade. To reduce the operating system footprint, improve performance, and optimize disk space usage, we moved many of the fonts that were previously shipped with prior versions of Windows to the optional features of Windows client. If you install a fresh instance of Windows client, or upgrade an older version of Windows to Windows client, these optional features aren't enabled by default. As a result, these fonts appear to be missing from the system.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have documents created using the missing fonts, these documents might display differently on Windows client.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if you've an English, French, German, or Spanish version of Windows 10 installed, you might notice that fonts such as the following are appear to be missing:
|
||||
|
||||
- `Gautami`
|
||||
- `Meiryo`
|
||||
- `Narkism/Batang`
|
||||
- `BatangChe`
|
||||
- `Dotum`
|
||||
- `DotumChe`
|
||||
- `Gulim`
|
||||
- `GulimChe`
|
||||
- `Gungsuh`
|
||||
- `GungsuhChe`
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use these fonts, you can enable the optional feature to add them back to your system. The removal of these fonts is a permanent change in behavior for Windows client, and it will remain this way in future releases.
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding language-associated features via language settings
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use the fonts from the optional feature and you know that you'll want to view Web pages, edit documents, or use apps in the language associated with that feature, add that language into your user profile. Use the Settings app.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, here are the steps to install the fonts associated with the Hebrew language:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select **Start > Settings**.
|
||||
|
||||
2. For Windows 10, in **Settings**, select **Time & language**, and then select **Region & language**.
|
||||
|
||||
For Windows 11, in **Settings**, select **Time & language**, and then select **Language & Region**.
|
||||
|
||||
3. If Hebrew isn't included in the list of languages, select the plus sign (**+**) to add a language.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Find **Hebrew**, and then select it to add it to your language list.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you've added Hebrew to your language list, then the optional Hebrew font feature and other optional features for Hebrew language support are added. This process should only take a few minutes.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> The optional features are added by Windows Update. You need to be online for the Windows Update service to work.
|
||||
## Add optional fonts manually without changing language settings
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use fonts in an optional feature but don't need to search web pages, edit documents, or use apps in the associated language, you can add the optional font features manually without changing your language settings.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, here are the steps to add the fonts associated with the Hebrew language without adding the Hebrew language itself to your language preferences:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select **Start > Settings**.
|
||||
|
||||
1. In **Settings**, select **System**, and then select **Optional features** (if on a version older than Windows 10 22H2, navigate to **Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Optional features** instead).
|
||||
|
||||
1. If you don't see **Hebrew Supplemental Fonts** in the list of added features, select the plus sign (**+**) to add a feature.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select **Hebrew Supplemental Fonts** in the list, and then select **Add**.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> The optional features are added by Windows Update. You need to be online for the Windows Update service to work.
|
||||
## Fonts included in optional font features
|
||||
|
||||
Here's a comprehensive list of the font families in each of the optional features. Some font families might include multiple fonts for different weights and styles.

# How to add fonts that are missing after upgrading Windows
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- OSADO-45535220 -->
|
||||
|
||||
When Windows is upgraded from older versions of Windows to currently supported versions of Windows, previously available fonts might no longer be available post-upgrade. Many of the fonts that were previously shipped with Windows were moved to the optional features of Windows to:
|
||||
|
||||
- Reduce the operating system footprint.
|
||||
- Improve performance.
|
||||
- Optimize disk space usage.
|
||||
|
||||
In the following instances:
|
||||
|
||||
- A fresh instance of Windows is installed
|
||||
- Windows is upgraded from an older version of Windows
|
||||
|
||||
optional fonts aren't enabled by default. As a result, these fonts are missing from the system. If documents were created using the missing fonts, these documents might display differently in the updated version of Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if an English, French, German, or Spanish version of Windows is installed, fonts such as the following are missing:
|
||||
|
||||
- `Gautami`
|
||||
- `Meiryo`
|
||||
- `Narkism/Batang`
|
||||
- `BatangChe`
|
||||
- `Dotum`
|
||||
- `DotumChe`
|
||||
- `Gulim`
|
||||
- `GulimChe`
|
||||
- `Gungsuh`
|
||||
- `GungsuhChe`
|
||||
|
||||
If these fonts are needed, you can add them back to your system via optional features. The removal of these fonts is a permanent change in behavior for Windows, and it will remain this way in future releases.
|
||||
|
||||
## Adding language-associated features via language settings
|
||||
|
||||
If fonts associated with a language are needed across the system, then that language should be added to the user profile followed by switching to that language. For example, the fonts are needed to:
|
||||
|
||||
- View web pages.
|
||||
- Edit documents.
|
||||
- Use apps in that language.
|
||||
|
||||
Adding a language and then switching to it can be done via the **Settings** app.
|
||||
|
||||
::: zone pivot="windows-11"
|
||||
|
||||
To add the fonts associated with a language and then switch to that language, first open the **Language & region** pane in the **Settings** app by selecting the following link:
|
||||
|
||||
> [!div class="nextstepaction"]
|
||||
> [Language & region](ms-settings:regionlanguage)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Add optional fonts manually without changing language settings
|
||||
|
||||
If fonts associated with a language are needed but aren't needed across the entire system, then that language should be added to the user profile as a supplemental font. Adding a font as a supplemental font doesn't require the user switch to that language. Adding a font as a supplemental font can be done via the **Settings** app.
|
||||
|
||||
To add supplemental fonts associated with a language while staying with the current language:
|
||||
|
||||
Open the **Optional features** pane in the **Settings** app by selecting the following link:
|
||||
|
||||
> [!div class="nextstepaction"]
|
||||
> [Optional features](ms-settings:optionalfeatures)
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
1. Right-click on the **Start** menu and select **Run**.
|
||||
|
||||
1. In the **Run** window, next to **Open:**, enter:
|
||||
|
||||
```console
|
||||
ms-settings:optionalfeatures
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and then select **OK**.
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
::: zone pivot="windows-11"
|
||||
|
||||
1. Right-click on the **Start** menu and select **Settings**.
|
||||
|
||||
1. In the left hand pane of the Settings app, select **System**.
|
||||
|
||||
1. In the right hand **System** pane, select **Optional features**.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Once the **System > Optional features** pane is open, add a supplemental font with the following steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Select the **View features** button next to **Add an optional feature**.
|
||||
|
||||
1. In the **Add an optional feature** window that opens:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Find the desired supplemental font to add and then select the box next to the supplemental font to add it. Multiple supplemental fonts can be selected.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Once all of the desired supplemental fonts are selected, select the **Next** button.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Review the selected list of features and then select the **Install** button to add the selected features.
