How to Install Telnet in Windows 10

By Mitch Bartlett 16 Comments

Want to use the Telnet application included with Microsoft Windows 10? You first need to enable the program. Here’s how it’s done.

Option 1 – From Control Panel

  1. Open “Control Panel“.
  2. Open “Programs“.
  3. Select the “Turn Windows features on or off ” option.
  4. Check the “Telnet Client” box.
    Telnet Client selecting in Windows Features selections
  5. Click “OK“. A box will appear that says “Windows features” and “Searching for required files“.When complete, the Telnet client should be installed in Windows.

Option 2 – From Command Line

You can also install the Telnet Client by issuing a command.

  1. Hold down the Windows Key, then press “R“.
  2. The Run dialog box appears. Type:
    • pkgmgr /iu:”TelnetClient”
      Install Telnet Client command
  3. Select “OK” and Windows will install the Telnet client.

    Thanks for offering two options. With the latest Win 10 updates the Telnet Client no longer appears on menus. Fortunately the command line option still works.

    Doesn’t work. I tried 3 time. It keeps saying it needs to reboot to finish the process (why? there’s no conceivable reason except incompetent program that this should require a reboot, but anyway…) I let it reboot. Telnet still doesn’t work. I try again, the telnet client box is not checked. I check it and says “searching for required files”, and then says it has to reboot for it to complete. I let it reboot. It comes up (eventually), I start up all my standard apps (a good 10 minutes), try to telnet again, says it doesn’t recognize the command, I go back to programs in the control panel, Telnet Client is still not checked, check the box, click okay, repeat 2 more times. What a frigging waste of time this brain-dead O/S is!

    My Telent keeps crashing while I am using it. I have attempted to turn off the feature and then back on again but it did not fix the issue.
    Do you know why this is happening and how I can fix it?
