I would guess that there are "features" that are not installed by default for your version of windows which are in the simpler versions of windows.
Control panel / programs and features / turn windows features on or off.
As for which one or ones that are MIA, I don't know. if you have a standard or pro version you could do a side by side comparison and add, turn on, the missing features.
As a more performance oriented version of the OS, MS will not turn on media and other non-essential components. They are available, but you need to turn them on yourself.
A case of a 'better' version of the OS that creates problems when used for other purposes.
