    Hi Peggy,Open OptionalFeatures.exe. Is the ".NET Framework 3.5" option shown there? Anyway, please try the ISO method.

    Download the Windows 11 ISO, mount it, and run the DISM command mentioning the source (X:\Sources\SxS) folder.

    Example: dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:h:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
