  • Can you try to list the available features with this command and see if it works : Get-WindowsFeature

Try to get a list using a PowerShell. Most probably, the server stuck on the pending reboot request. The first option will be rebooting, installing Windows updates and then rebooting once again. The second option is to delete pending.xml in C:\Windows\WinSxS and reboot the host.
