    1. Went on 'Turn Windows features on or off' and unticked the 'Games'. It came up as 'An error has occurred. Not all of the features were successfully changed.' Actually nothing has been turned off as I unticked others at the same time.
    What should I do to make it work?

    2. Also wish to know if it is okay to turn off the function of
    'Window DFS Replication Service' and
    'Windows Meeting Space'?

    1. Hmmmm... in that case I'd try unticking things one at a time. If that doesn't work, try turning on any part of the feature that's not turned on yet, and then turn it all off. If that doesn't work either, you could reinstall Windows. ;) Oh yeah, on the error message, if there's an option for "More details", click it and see what it says.

    2. I think that should be fine.
