Hello Users,
I really need to enable WSL for Docker and other stuff.
But I can't because the turn Windows features on or off window is empty:
I tried everything and even dism++ shows that there is no features:
Do not ask me to do a dism or sfc scan, I tried it so many times!
Please help.

sfc /scannow
Press enter and let it runs and see what the result is.

2022-08-08T10:27:53.937+00:00 Yes I think my OS got really, REALLY corrupted, but I got some good news:
I installed MobaXTerm and WSL just started working for some reason, but I still need you to help me because I need "Turn Windows features on or off" to work! -

2022-08-09T00:58:18.143+00:00 While windows may have some inherent flaws, it shouldn't just self-destruct out of nowhere. What happened to this machine? Did you have a hard drive crash? Did a major update get interrupted? Something had to occur.
If DISM and SFC won't work, then you have a major problem and there is no way that we forum users could give you a quick fix.
You might want to check for errors in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log before proceeding.
Assuming that you don't want to reinstall your applications, you can try an in-place upgrade. I have not personally tested this, so please understand that this is one of those "use at your own risk', 'no warranty expressed or implied' situations.
