I'm running a modified windows 10, meaning I went though the ISO and removed a bunch of stuff, runs super smooth. Anyway I suspect that telnet is one of the things that I pulled out because now, couple years down the line, that I want to use it it's missing from the features list.
So is there a way I can reinstall it?

Windows ordinary repairs are unlikely to find things you removed.
(A) Try: DISM and restart.
(1) Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator. (2) DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /StartComponentCleanup (3) DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth (4) SFC /SCANNOW (5) Restart when all the above is complete and test.
(B) Then, if that does not work, try installing Telnet with Power Shell.
Perform the following steps to install Telnet Client on a server running Windows Server Core.
1. Type Start PowerShell in the Command Prompt window to start Windows PowerShell. 2. Type Install-WindowsFeature Telnet-Client and press Enter to install the Telnet Client .
(C) If all fails, try a third party Telnet app. I like and use Net Term.
4On the command-prompt, try:
dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:TelnetClient 1
