In early days of using Windows 8.1 I remember unninstalling some of it's built-in software (like Adobe Flash Player) and for this reason now I don't have IE. Recently I want to use it for educational purpose but I can't re-enable it. Here is a picture of the error message occured when I try to enable 'Internet Explorer 11' feature:
I also can't finish 'dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth' giving me a 'normal' error like this:
Error: 0x800f0906 The source files could not be downloaded. Use the "source" option to specify the location of the files that are required t o restore the feature. For more information on specifying a source location, see http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=243077.
I was able to run 'sfc /scannow' successful after some hard-work though.
Also I have an old backed-up image made with 'recimg' which I have set now as a current but when I click 'refresh' option in advanced recovery it wants me to insert installation media. I also tried using this image with 'dism /cleanup-image /restorehealth' as a source but with the same error when not being used.
I also tried to run the Internet Explorer in the backed-up image but it closes immediately after being launch (eg.: 'G:\OnlineWindowsImage\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe').
