SQL Server Config Manager Error "MMC could not create the snap-in"

Hi, I have seen this error elsewhere online. I have gone to mmc to enable the snap in and I still have had no fix. My computer is running Windows Server 2022, SQL Server Express 2022, and SSMS. I have reinstalled, repaired, and all of the other tricks. Help!

 

 

  • nicolasjpsanchez Unless you intend to have several snap-ins in MMC, have you attempted the following:
    1) Opening the SQL Server 2022 configuration manager from the start menu?

    2) Use Computer management to access SQL Server Configuration management? (Right-click start menu -> Computer Management)

     

  • Someone on the SQL server Discord recommended SQL Developer, but I have no idea why express would be causing this issue.

      I was able to do a fresh install, and reinstalled SQL server and am having no issues since then. Thanks for the response!
