How To Enable Share Feature In Windows 10

Most people participating in the Insider Preview program know the list of components which made up the operating systems are fundamental to the full experience when using it. Despite that, the core components which are rather more important to the system functionality can have a bad effect on the whole operation when they are changed. These are the system components you are not usually allowed to modified due to their intricate nature. But, you can always effect changes by enabling them when they aren't active. In Windows 10 they can be done most of the time by changing their values at the Registry Editor or creating  new registry keys.
