Unable to install iis manager on windows 8 home edition

Question

Hi
I get an error while trying to install IIS manager from "Turn on off windows features" on a windows 8 machine. Just before trying to install this I install Visual Studio community online and rebooted my machine. Visual Studio works fine. 
I also made sure all updates are installed on my machine and also rebooted and tried installing IIS manager.
The error that I get is "The function attempted to use a name that is reserved for use by another transaction"
Update: Not just IIS. Anything I try to install from turn on off windows feature I get the same issue.
Thanks

Hi Ranjith,
Considering this issue occurs with all the features ,pleas run “dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth” to have a health scan.
As an alternative choice ,we can try to enable feature with the dism command to have a check  :

I have made a deep research ,“The function attempted to use a name that is reserved for use by another transaction” is seems to be caused by the third party conflict .Please perform a clean boot to have a check .If that is the issue ,we can have a troubleshoot
with dichotomy to find out the culprit.
Here is a link for reference of clean boot :
