Cannot install Windows-Identity-Foundation

Question

Hello, I've tried to install "Windows-Identity-Foundation" feature, but without success (OS is Windows 8.1 Professional).

I can not find this feature in the UI (ControlPanel -> Programs&Features -> "Turn Windows Features on or off").

So I've tried to install it via command line (dism tool).

I've checked feature via executing command "dism /online /Get-FeatureInfo /FeatureName:Windows-Identity-Foundation"

this command line is returning correct output on working machine,

but on my machine it returns

> Error: 0x800f080c

> Feature name Windows-Identity-Foundation is unknown.

> A Windows feature name was not recognized.

So I can't install it via the "dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:Windows-Identity-Foundation" command.

That issue is occurs not only with the "Windows-Identity-Foundation", but also with some other features (for example "Legacy Components").

Next I googled that this issue may be fixed via calling "sfc /scannow" to restore the packages,

but "sfc" is ended with message "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.";

the log file contains the next errors:

* STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND #5186404# from Windows::Rtl::SystemImplementation::DirectFileSystemProvider::SysCreateFile(

* Error STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND originated in function Windows::Rtl::SystemImplementation::DirectFileSystemProvider::SysCreateFile expression

(full logs I put in the onedrive http://1drv.ms/1BILQWs )

so that errors are not clear to me,

please guide me how I can try to fix this issue?

any advice is welcome.

Just have tried to execute "InstallFeature" with /Sourceand locate image with windows installation files

>dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:Windows-Identity-Foundation /Source:G:\sources\sxs

and the response:

---

Feature name Windows-Identity-Foundation is unknown.

A Windows feature name was not recognized.
