I'd like to remove IIS from Windows Server 2012 R2, but when I go to Add Roles and Features the option for Web Server (IIS) is greyed out and I can't un-tick it.

I've installed all the updates Windows suggested via Windows Update.

I found this: Can't remove iis from Windows Server 2012 R2

...but when I download and run that update I get:

The update is not applicable to your computer.

Why am I not able to remove IIS..? How can I uninstall it..?

Ok, although lots of people said to go to Add Roles and Features and un-tick IIS, there is actually an option called Remove Roles and Features, which worked.

    Yes, you open the "Add Roles and Features" wizard and you can see the "Remove Roles and Features" option on the first screen. Very easy to miss. – Salman A Apr 26 '18 at 14:24
