.NET Framework not responding

Question

when i attempt to use discord or anything that normally requires the .NET Framework (practically everything I use) I get this error message:

When I attempt to reinstall .NET Framework I also get this message:

 

I have attempted to do a Hard Reset, a Regular Reset, and a Factory Reset. However when I tried to do a factory reset it apparently encountered an issue and was unable to do it.

On an unrelated note I am also getting messages at some times that a feature failed to install, however when I attempt to install any optional features it just stops downloading and immediately cancels, meaning I cant install anything.

EDIT: After a helpful response from a member of the community or Windows itself, the issue formatting has now changed to the photo seen below, this post will be edited with progress made until we can find a hopeful solution to the issue, thank you for your current support!

Answer 1

Right click the Windows icon on the taskbar, Apps and Features, Program and Features in upper right, Turn Windows features on or off.  There you will find .NET Framework.

Answer 2

Type cmd into search then right click Command Prompt and Run as administrator.

Then copy/paste the following command and press Enter:

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.NETFramework" /v InstallRoot /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64" /f

Test .NET again.

Answer 3

Thank you for this very helpful response! You seem to have made progress on my issue as the issue formatting has now changed on startup after a computer restart, however it still seems to be not working even after an attempted install of .NET 4.0 and a reinstall of the latest 4.8 as seen in this photo:

Answer 5

Sorry, I meant to try running a .NET application like the previously mentioned Discord.

Also regarding the blank Windows features box, run through the tips from the following:

Turn Windows Features on or off blank or empty (thewindowsclub.com)
