Click apply, then Ok! Had the exact same problem.
I called Microsoft Vista SP1 support line , and they solved it for me. I am happy to report that this solution, even after 2 years, still works beautifully.
Iam surprised how vulnerable Vista is Or simple uninstalling bloatware caused this. I found all this here: I followed this, but yours looks even simpler.

Regular Python. House Owner. Exponential Rate Formula. Editing Overlays Templates. Rigging Devices. One Piece Shanks Quotes. Judge Coloring Page. Lateral Knee Mri. Those worked well too. I followed this guide yesterday, there was one key in the registry I had to give myself full control of to delete from the log, after that it was fixed. Thank you. Thank you very much for this article. Found the culprits and it worked right away. This worked for me… Not only did it restore the Windows Features Options check-boxes, but more importantly it restored the list of Windows Updates installed on my Vista laptop, because I wanted to uninstall KB from last week until they get it right!!
All now sorted — thanks. Installed the SUR, rebooted and tried optionalfeatures. Still empty. Any other suggestions are still welcome. If nothing works above, try download and install Windows6. Happened to me. Your links for Vistabit and Vistabit are swapped. Should probably fix that so as to not confuse anybody.
Those pages used to be correct but for reasons known only to Microsoft, they switched them around. It worked for me. However I had to use the 3rd party registry editor to delete the keys. While my normal user account local admin did allow me to see all the packages sub keys but not delete them.
Worked for me, too!!! My log showed the following. Now hoping I can resolve my other updating issues. Well, crud. Running SFC before indicated that I have a corrupt sxs. Took a while due to many registry entries which needed to be deleted, but worth the effort and time. I, MGP, being of sound mind and body, in declaring my last will and testament, do hereby bequeath all my worldly goods to whomever it was that figured out a solution that WORKS!
Been so frustrated with a brand new Lenovo w WIth your fix, I can finally select Windows components. So glad you posted this. Great work! Got the permissions to work — but after deleting the registry entries — Turn Windows Features On or Off is still blank.
You are great! After more than a week and became to be crazy…. Thank you!! After rerunning the System Update Readiness Tool the rather extensive log was reduced to three lines with unfixed packages.
Deleting those three did it. Started to get discouraged as none of the solution worked until I tried Registrar. So much for Windows 7 being stable. Really really really thank you; if i had found this solution earlier i would not have had spent 8 hours nonstop trying to solve the problem, thanks very very much!
Thankyou so much,it worked. I had been experiencing. NET Framework v2. Now I can finally see the. NET Framework 3. After some hours googling and trying, this one Worked very well. Thanks for all the answers given. I have been trying to update a new install of Win7 x64 to SP1 for a couple of weeks. I thought the issue was DotNet related. However I noticed that the Features list was blank and applied your fix. Now I have a features list and I am installing SP1. A far better solution than another wipe and reload!
Beside the feature-list issue, it resolved another widespread problem with IE-Update to newer version not working. A very effective fix. Many thanks! Thanks a lot. Great article!
WOW that was a great solution. Not only did it fix my empty list issue, but it also resolved installed updates not showing and my WSUS server thinking the PC needed IE9 even though it was already installed!
Can anyone help? This fix cured the blank Windows Update page, but also cured the issue that caused updates to fail so I no longer needed to uninstall SP2 and do the in place upgrade. This also fixed a very annoying problem where KB was being installed over and over again by windows update. This and all the other articles did not help me, but there was a note that referenced using DISM.
The sent me on the track to look for MS updates that had certificates that were out of date. I found on and fixed it with these articles. Wow, never expect too much that this solution will actually solve my problem as I have tried out tons of solution which did not work. Good solution, keep up your good work! I just took ownership of the key and i was able to make permission modifications. Registrar Home v7 is a great and powerful tool! I like the way it worked!
Thank you for the walkthroughs. Now maybe I can update media center and internet explorer in Windows 7. IE10 and 11 are the safest browsers at the moment. In my case deleting register keys was an option. Excellent … i tried Windows Update but it the problem still.
You save me re-install windows. I thank you very much Raymond, you have really sorted me out. I have bookmarked you blog. Needless to say, even though I had to take manual possession of every problematic registry key to delete them, as neither PSExec or RunAsSystem worked for me, I was successful in getting my Win7 box fixed with your instructions.
Thanks a bunch. Remarkably excellent article. Easy to follow — screen views absolutely match what I came up with following the directions. I did not have to go any further than step three to get the Windows features window to open with a list of services. WOW amazing, I tried everything — this fix works and the guide is so comprehensive.
Thanks for taking the time to put it together. Outstanding article. Many thanks. You did a VERY good job! I just took ownership of the keys right click — permisssions then gave myself full access and was able to delete it. That worked! Raymond you are the best. Anyway, I have tried all the solutions even WINFIX who says it has been fixed; you restart your computer and nothing the list is still empty!
Your solution was the hardest but effective. The most difficult is to delete the corrupted registry because of the permissions. Anyway your solutions saved me. I spent so much time trying to fix it, but nothing worked.. Except this one! Thanks a ton. Thank you very much. Your solution worked perfectly. I just needed a little extra patience. The hotfix finally worked. I took a long time, but it worked. This not only fix my features problem but also the problem while upgrading to windows 7 sp1….
You rock man you rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ohh my god, this actually works… Every site of microsoft i checked and nothing worked, but this really works. You helped me so much, thank you!!! I followed the procedure patiently and had to manually delete 23 corrupt registry entries. I have been bashing my head on the keyboard for 2 weeks on this one. Thank you thank you! It took so long to find a fix I have forgotton why I went to Win features in the first place!!!!
I had the same problem with W7…and thanks to your instructions, the list is displayed again a big thank you. Holy crap, it worked!
Your solution fixed a Windows Update problem which was preventing Internet Explorer 9 from installing correctly. Kept failing to update 3 patches for IE8 and IE9. Windows update immediately started working again after running your fix. Great solution, well documented. Well done. Would just like to add my own note of thanks. Took me ages messing around with other solutions, but this one worked like a charm. Scary changing the reg, but your step be step instructions aid off.
Thank you so much for finding this fix. I had to delete over 70 registry so much permission setting! You the best! You sir, are a god damn star! I wish i had found this post 6 months ago. Awesome, works a treat. System Update Readiness Tool Solved the problem for me.
Thank you very much for your great help. Not only fixed the Features window but also finally allowed me to install an update that kept failing! So much thanks! Hello Raymond. Thanks for the information. However, I had to go through a few more steps to get this working, and wanted to contribute some information I found while resolving this issue. After finding the error messages in the CheckSUR. I went to the Microsoft site, and downloaded the related patch that was showing the error in the CheckSUR.
Raymond CC — you are the man! I spent 2 evenings trawling the web for solutions till i found this. You are my hero, this actually worked, after trying just about everything else available on the Net! Thank you so much Raymond! The last part worked for me and the guide for Full control as well. After pulling out my hair I found this information. Good to go! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you, Raymond! This worked perfectly. I followed your instructions carefully and found a corrupt entry which I deleted and now I see things to activate instead of a blank screen!
Happiness followed. I would buy you lunch if I could! So went in a removed the packages as Raymond suggested and voila! It worked perfectly. Time consuming? Yes at least a bit. Worth it. Very much so. Worked beautifully! Very well written, detailed instructions. Thank you thank you thank you! Wow , never thought i would have to use this method today. Did everything like you said and it works brilliantly. What a relief. Good tool to have in my usb toolbox.
Thanks for this tip Ray. This has also fixed another long-standing headache of mine: the inability to uninstall the release candidate of IE9. Since running this fix I now have the IE9 release candidate listed in Windows Updates to uninstall, which I did not have before. So this fix should be posted to the many forum posts where people are having that problem.
Thanks again. First Time regedit Was unable to delete files after giving permission also but later i deleted it using Tune Up Utilities Registry Editor.. Hey, thanks for this well explained solution.
Works perfect and does not require a system restore. The first method with download and update, resolve a problem. Respect …. Thanks, your how-to gave me the tools to fix the issue for a friend. Paul registered user Great post! My problem was getting a Service Pack installed. This fix allowed me to do that. The more I have to do these types of things to Windows, the more I want a Mac. Many Many Thanks, that worked for me. Thank you so much for posting this and help people, nice one, cheers :- thumbs up Thanks for the solution dude………….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Microsoft support sucks.. Genius, many thanks. Running the update did not work, but deleting the registry keys after taking ownership of the key from system fixed the problem. So i found those 5 files and deleted them which worked for me. It was also having w along with f , deleted w as well. I wasted 3 days behind these but finally solved. You are great if you are the original author of this article. It fixed my problem easier. Microsoft Kb article to resolve the same problem seems useless.
I solute you!!! Worked for me without having to go to the log file. Spent 3 hours trying Microsoft fixes and this worked in 15 minutes. I have Windows 7 64bit and your suggestion of downloading the System Update Readiness Tool from Microsoft worked, after I had already tried the other suggestions from Microsoft with no success. This guide has solved my problem.
Found this post to brute force it:. Features are now showing up. I am really thankful to you for providing this solution. I was almost ready to format my own system. Many thanks again!! Dude, worked like a charm. You rock! Seriously awesome, worked great! Thanks man! Worked on Win 7 bit after running update, removing reg entries and then running update again. Results showed nothing under Checking Package Manifests and Catalogs after second time.
You fixed it! The Windows Support fixes all failed — including running the checksur. But your fix worked. Man that was asome…needed to delete a lots of corupted registry but finally worked. U are a genious…. Were Microsoft failed you succeeded. This issue had be stumped I was about to reformat before I stumbled across this page. I have problem again with windows feature on or off blank in windows 7 64 bit. Click OK. Reboot the machine.
Worked like a charm for me! Had to go all the way, including manually deletion of registry keys. Fixed another and probably related problem for me: The list of installed windows updates came up blank before this fix.
They need to post a link to this! Thank you very much for this article I Want to active telnet feature in windows 7 proff 64 bit. After i follow until step 4, the display is appear.
