The difference between services from the Control Panel and from the Windows Features

 There is a significant difference between the two. This is probably new in Windows 11.

I had to wade through a search, to home in on this difference because I could not enable Internet Information Services Manager by the legacy way of going through Windows Control Panel.

Control Panel --> Programs and Features-> Turn Windows Features on and Off

The above sequence displays the features in which the IIS is missing.

 


However, enabling Internet related items does install IIS. The IIS Manager can even be found in C:\Windows\system32\inetserv. It appears the IIS Manager is not fully functional according to Gemini.

It appears the correct way to enable IIS Manager is via Windows Features which brings up the same Turn windows Features on and off but now you can see the IIS.


Enabling IIS Manager through windows Features is the correct way and from the Services you can now turn on/turn off some of the services like IIS, .NET Framework, or Hyper-V. The windows services for most of other more operations like BitLocker Encryption, Storage management, file system operation, etc.

As Windows evolve things get changed continuously.

How do you enable Hyper-V in Windows 8.1?

In case you want to run more than one operating system on your PC you may want to use Hyper-V. You can run both 32bit as well as 64 OS.

Hyper-V is included in Windows 8.1 Professional. It is quite easy to enable Hyper-V.  It is very similar to Windows Virtual PC on Windows 7. Hyper-V is needed for Windows 8 Emulator .

Right click Start on Desktop__>;Control Panel-->;Programs-->;Select 'Turn Windows features on or off'
In the Windows Features window displayed place check mark for Hyper-V as shown and enable both Hyper-V GUI Management Tools and the Hyper-V Module for Windows PowerShell.



That is all there is to it.
