Windows 2012 R2. I have at least two snap ins which will not load, eventviewer and DFS management.

I have tried;

None of these worked, although the delete registry key trick was supposed to recreate the key automatically, it did not. I reloaded the .reg file.

Everything seems to work well on the server, I can access the event viewer from another server, and do not see any errors.

Where do I go from here?

Delete the files for those consoles in %AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\MMC. – joeqwerty Aug 01 '18 at 18:50
Forgot to mention I had deleted files in %AppData%\Microsoft\MMC. I will add it above. – Paul Stearns Aug 01 '18 at 18:53
