We are having an issue installing the desktop experience on a terminal server. &nbsp;We consistantly get this error: &quot;update desktopexperience of package desktopexperience failed to be turned on status 0x80071a90&quot;.<br />
We have done the following:<br />
1. Installed all windows updates<br />
2. Uninstalled antivirus<br />
3. Ran the system file check (sfc /scannow), and it did not find any errors<br />
<br />
I am out of options.<br />
<br />
I have another terminal server that I installed this same feature and it installed just fine.<br />
<br />
Can I install this manually? &nbsp;I REALLY need this feature
