Windows features in Windows 11!





PS:

In older versions of Windows, to deactivate features they still had to be completely uninstalled on the computer. In Windows 11 and 10, the features are saved on the hard drive and can therefore be reactivated if necessary. When a feature is deactivated, it is not uninstalled, so that the hard disk space used by Windows 10 features is not reduced.

3.) ... What should I consider when activating additional functions?



Additional functions are sometimes required under Windows 11, but you should only activate those that are actually required. Any unnecessary addition to the system makes the system slower, so it's really important to only enable what is necessary. Unlike when you drive the 3.5-ton SUV to Discounter, you should proceed differently here. Each additional load costs performance and energy!
