It adds the repos, but actually don’t enable them by default need to manually enable one by one and then install Google, steam, Nvidia and openh264 example
Not true in my experience on Workstation.
The 3rd party repos that are added from the welcome screen are enabled when added.
This includes
rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver
rpmfusion-nonfree-steam
fedora-cisco-openh264
&
google-chrome
many other repos are contained in the gnome software app (on workstation) and those not listed above must be manually added (and also appear to be enabled when added)
Just did today KDE install and enabling third party repos from kde welcome screen adds all the repos, but not enable those
Took some minutes to figure since it couldn’t install steam, Google, nvidia and checking repolist --all shows only 3 default repos enablyso had to enable third-party repos manually

Point 3. You have to install this package.
It also works for KDE
Point is that the button adds all in repolist, but won’t enable those default third-party repos
That is a big on the welcome screen
Need to manually enable default third-party repos
On workstation those are added and enabled when click the button
My experience is that all those are enabled when added from the welcome screen.
I will do a new clean install in a VM and test just in case things have been changed.
Usually those are enabled not sure what or where issues are… Might be my hardware or just my install iso since it failed multiple times and crashed during installation couldn’t install bootloader or fully frozen when trying to restart or force shutdown etc never happened before on my Linux time
I just installed fedora 41 Workstation on a new VM.
During the setup I selected to enable 3rd party repos.
I then opened a terminal and this is what I found.
$ dnf repolist
repo id repo name
copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:phracek:PyCharm Copr repo for PyCharm owned by phracek
fedora Fedora 41 - x86_64
fedora-cisco-openh264 Fedora 41 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64
google-chrome google-chrome
rpmfusion-nonfree-nvidia-driver RPM Fusion for Fedora 41 - Nonfree - NVIDIA Driver
rpmfusion-nonfree-steam RPM Fusion for Fedora 41 - Nonfree - Steam
updates Fedora 41 - x86_64 - Updates
So it is just my install that got messed up somehow. I might need to start debugging then if there is hardware failure coming or what
Btw I am on KDE not workstation
Workstation works KDE has issue
You have to test the kde Iso! See Title. KDE has Eddition Status now.
p.s.
@thephatlee if you not want to do it one by one, just reinstall the fedora-workstation-repositories package and it does it as the button does. If you do not need them anymore, just remove the package.
I missed the KDE part – Thanks for reminding me of that 
.
I redid the test using f41 KDE Plasma and I found that it does not enable those repos even though the installation walk through (welcome) has a button for that purpose.
Reinstalling the fedora-workstation-repositories package also did not enable them.
This appears to be a bug in the installation procedure where the expected results do not appear.

Thank you for confirming this and makes my debugging less hardware side so it is bug on the welcome install part
Just a headsup, my name is Steve and I’m one of the creators of the plasma-welcome customization for Fedora. Pressing the button simply runs fedora-third-party and either enables or disables third party repos, which should be the exact same general behavior than what happens on Workstation.

Apparently it ‘should’ do that but with my testing and as reported by the OP it seems to not function that way.
