    I would like to know, if wmi query can pull values of 'lastuse' attribute.  Even though "LastUse" is an attribute of the SoftwareFeature Class  defined in the Win32_SoftwareFeatureSoftwareElements association class, Querying it doesn't provide any output for 'Lastuse'.    I'm using wbemtest as tool for wmi queries on a Window 10 Enterprise.

    You are not using the correct class.

    Get-WmiObject Win32_SoftwareFeature | 
     Select-Object name, lastuse

    See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/msiprov/win32-softwarefeature

    Two way binding:

    $feature = Get-WmiObject Win32_SoftwareFeature -Filter "Name = 'Chart_Feature'"
$feature.GetRelated('Win32_SoftwareElement')

$element = Get-WmiObject Win32_SoftwareElement -Filter "Name = 'ChartWinForm_gac_Component'"
$element.GetRelated('Win32_SoftwareFeature')

    That can happen if the repository is either damaged or packages are blocking WMI due to security.  It is not a scripting issue. It is a system issue.
