I'm trying to install Windows Fax and Scan on my W-11 laptop. I can follow the instructions but I don't get the option to 'Add Additional features' (only edit). Help!

    Hi Liz,

    Please open Settings → System → Optional features. Click "View features". Type “fax”. Select Windows Fax and Scan from the list and click Next and click Install.

    If that doesn't help or the options are unavailable, here's an alternate method to install WFS.

    Please open Command Prompt (admin) and run this command.

    Dism /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:Print.Fax.Scan~~~~0.0.1.0
