Can you please confirm that it does not exist in the location pictured above?

    There's anyway to install/enable IIS Windows Authentication when it's missing in "Turn Windows Features On or Off" menu?

    I'm running an Win8 machine in a Local Workgroup.

      Does your version of Windows 8 even support IIS? Some versions of Windows does not support installing IIS on them for a many reasons including Microsoft being forced to remove features by govnernments.

      You could also try the Web Platform Installer microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx

    In the security folder I only see the following options: Basic Authentication, IP Security, Request Filtering and URL Authorization
