Configuration operations: enable, disable, or uninstall a feature

Current configuration can be browsed, but it can also be operated on to enable/disable/uninstall features, to revert to previous configurations, etc. Open the configuration manager  by clicking Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration.

  1. Disable a feature: select the feature and click on the "Disable" feature action in  the right pane of the dialog or in the context menu. The action is available only when the feature is currently enabled, and the feature is either an optional feature or a root feature (not included by other features).
  2. Enable a feature: Turn on disabled features filtering from the dialog toolbar, then select a disabled optional or root feature and click on the "Enable" feature action in  the right pane of the dialog or in  the context menu.
  3. Uninstall a feature: features installed by you using the update manager can be uninstalled, provided they are already disabled, or that they are optional or root features. If the feature is disabled, make sure you turn on the disabled features filtering from the dialog toolbar. Select the feature and click on the "Uninstall" feature action in the right page of the dialog or in the context menu.
