Cannot install IIS via "Turn Windows Features on or off" (Remote procedure call failed)

To get around a problem with a piece of software I'm using, I decided to re-install IIS. Removing it via "Turn Windows Features on or off", but every time I try to add it again I get an error saying a "Remote Procedure call failed". 

I tried adding a random feature (TFTP Client) to see if happened for all features, but this installed successfully.

I've tried restarting my computer and the same thing happens.

    Hi Stuart,

    This might have been caused by some corrupted system files. Try running these command:

    1. Press Windows key and type Command Prompt then run it as administrator.
    2. Type **DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /**Restorehealth and press Enter.
    3. Once it's done, type sfc **/**scannow and press Enter.
    4. Restart your computer and try to install it again.

    If the issue persists, go to Services > Remote Procedure Call > Automatic. If the service is running, stop it, refresh and start the service accordingly.

    Let us know how it goes.
