PowerShell How to view Windows feature options _powershell

Using PowerShell to add and remove Windows roles and features in Windows Server 2012 is convenient, but enabling and disabling Windows options on Windows 8.1 is slightly tasteless.

For example, Get-windowsoptionalfeature gets all the current Windows feature options:

Copy Code code as follows:

Ps> Get-windowsoptionalfeature-online | SELECT *-first 1

Featurename:microsoft-hyper-v-all
State:enabled
Path:
Online:true
Winpath:
Sysdrivepath:
Restartneeded:false
Logpath:i:\windows\logs\dism\dism.log
Scratchdirectory:
Loglevel:warningsinfo

What the hell is Microsoft-hyper-v-all? Is it the Hyper-V or Hyper-V management platform in the Windows Features dialog box in the following illustration? It would be nice to have a featurename in English and a localized name in the image below.

PowerShell get Windows feature options

Fortunately, win32_optionalfeature in WMI can do this:

Copy Code code as follows:

Get-wmiobject-class Win32_optionalfeature |
Select Name,caption |
