Windows 10 comes with a vast number of features, and only a subset is installed. Manually, you would open Control Panel and look at the Windows Feature list. Experienced Administrators may also use the dism.exe command-line tool.
With PowerShell, you can view the state of Windows features via Get-WindowsOptionalFeature. When you specify –Online, the cmdlet returns the currently available features and their states.
Using Where-Object, you could now easily filter out results, and for example only show a list of not-yet-installed features:
# list all Windows features and their state Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online | Out-GridView # list only available features that are not yet installed Get-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online | Where-Object State -eq Disabled | Out-GridView
