Hello Marianne,
The Media Feature Pack is already included with Windows 11 unless you have a "N" edition where it will have to manually installed like in the tutorial below.

Looking to find out how to install Media Feature Pack on Windows 11. Following the instructions to Optional Features, however, Media Feature Pack does not show as an option to install.
Thank you kindly for your time and considerations.

Asuka Hikari 0 Reputation points2025-09-16T17:15:28.79+00:00 This doesn't help in the slightest, as OP mentioned... It isn't there under 'Optional Features' which is all your guide is asking them to check...

2025-09-16T18:07:23.0966667+00:00 Hence why I said "unless you have a "N" edition". If you don't have an N edition of Windows, then the the Media Feature Pack will not be available since the features in the Media Feature Pack are already included. Still waiting on a reply from OP.

Douba 0 Reputation points2026-01-07T15:32:55.18+00:00 So I have Windows 11 Pro N, and the Media Feature Pack still doesn't show up, so the step by step guide doesn't apply. What can I do?
