why not just go to settings and have it do a complete reinstall?

if you had a USB installation then you have to get the latest build update which might disable it again which is why i posted that Youtube video...

If you can't do it this method then you need to have an admin user account. and you dont have access to it... depending on your situation.

Reinstalled Windows. After that it worked for me to activate the Legacy Components.
