    I got you Mike.

    It just isn't turning on or being recognized so it can be turned on.
    I'm good at digging thru the tutorials but can't find a fix either.

    I asked Brink to take a look if and when he gets on line today.
    He may have some further insights.

    Try running System File Checker in an elevated command prompt (option two):

    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    If that doesn't get the missing feature back, try a Repair Install to preserve user accounts, data, programs, and system drivers.
