RSAT on Windows 11 is an incredibly useful tool that makes remote managing simple and easy, and today, we’re going to take a closer look at this feature and see how to properly install it.

How can I install RSAT on Windows 11?

1. Use the Settings menu

  1. Press the Start menu button in the Taskbar.
  2. Now click the Settings icon.
  3. From the left-side menu, select Apps, then click on Optional Features on the right-side menu.
  4. Now click on the View features button, which is colored blue.
  5. Type RSAT in the search tab and select all the variants you want to install. Click Next to proceed.

  3. The process will take a few minutes, depending on the capabilities of your system.
  4. Optional: Alternatively, you can install individual RSAT components. Do to that, use the following command but replace the tool-name with the actual name of the tool: Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name tool-name
