Windows Media Feature Pack not working correctly

I'm running Windows 10 Pro N on my desktop PC and I've installed the media feature pack ( http://www.microsoft.com/en-GB/download/details.aspx?id=48231 ) because it is apparently needed to connect to android devices via usb.

But when I open the Control Panel and browse to Programs->Enable/Disable Windows Features, media player features are missing entirely from the list.

Furthermore, when I open (the new) Settings->Updates and browse to see the installed updates the Feature Pack for Windows (KB3010081) is shown. However, when I click on deinstall updates I see a new update list (in the old Control Panel) und the Feature Pack is again missing...

Updates

Do you know any way to install the Media Feature Pack properly?

Edit: To make it a little easier I've added an image related that shows the discrepancy between Settings and the Control Panel. Keep in mind that it is german though (I've installed the german version of the feature pack, but in order to make it simpler for english speaking users I've postet the link to the english version above)

I tried to install KB4039813, but discovered that I have already had installed it from automatic windows updates. Still I don't have the Connect app, the only feature from MS Media I actually needed :(

@Czar: I'm not familiar with the Connect app. Isn't it available in the Windows Store once the feature pack is installed?
– Gert van den Berg
Apr 8 '18 at 8:59

Nope, it isn't. This app is supposed to make it possible to cast from e.g. an Android device to a Windows PC.

@Czar: Ah, I was actually looking for it as well, not sure if it is part of the media features.... (I thought it might have been discontinued with 1709)

That's a new feature only released in October. I don't think they'd discontinue it so fast and without replacement.
