SharePoint 2016 Missing Filter Web Parts
Have looked in site settings and cannot find the setting which enables the filters.
Filter Web Parts are the part of the 'SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features' feature, which in turn activates "BizApps Site Templates" feature that contains web parts.

It appears (how to tell) that this install is SharePoint Server Standard as there is a "SharePoint Server Standard Site Collection Features". If it is Standard am I out of look on these web parts?
I do not know what is actually included in the standard version of SharePoint. Check if you have C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\FEA TURES\BizA ppsSiteTem plates folder on the disk. If so - you are free to install this feature. Please note that some webparts may not work with your SP version. Again - not sure as I do not have access to Standard Version.

I found some web parts in this folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\16\TEMPLATE\FEA TURES\BizA ppsSiteTem plates\dwp . I assumpe the "16" in the path is because it's SP1016.
Here are the files I see:
AuthoredListFilter
BusinessDataFilter
DateFilter
FilterActions
OlapFilter
PageContentFilter
QueryStringFilter
SplistFilter
TextFilter
UserContextFilter
However, I don't see a Filters category when I go to add a web part to a page.

Did you run the command?:
I did check it for empty site (STS#1) and it works. In fact, I have some more webparts: AuthoredListFilter.webpart
BusinessDataActionsWebPart .dwp, BusinessDataAssociationWeb Part.webpa rt, BusinessDataDetailsWebPart .webpart, BusinessDataFilter.dwp, BusinessDataItemBuilder.dw p, BusinessDataListWebPart.we bpart, DateFilter.dwp, FilterActions.dwp, IndicatorWebPart.dwp, IViewWebPart.dwp, KpiListWebPart.dwp, OlapFilter.dwp, PageContextFilter.webpart, ProjectSummary.webpart, QueryStringFilter.webpart, SpListFilter.dwp, TextFilter.dwp, UserContextFilter.webpart, WSRPConsumerWebPart.dwp. But you have at least DateFilter, and it it enought to be visible in Filters section.

Command failed for me. "The feature is not a farm level feature and is not found in a Site Level defined by http://some-site/.
Again, you did not install feature. If the feature is not installed the error is "Feature is not a Farm Level Feature...", if it does not exist the error is "Failed to find XML...".
Install the feature first:
PS C:\> Enable-SPFeature NonInstalledFeature -Url http://test
