    MMC - Could not create the Snap-in

    Having Windows 10 Version 1703 64-based on a HP Laptop.

    Tried to install gpedit.msc, but continuously have error message

    'MMC could not create the snap-in'

    with 'CLSID: {8FCOB734-A0E1-11D1-A7D3-0000F87571E3}'

    Have tried trolling Google with all suggestions

    1) sfc /scannow - with no issues found

    2) Google Search

    3) https://blog.multiplay.co.uk/2013/1...reate-snap-in-for-group-policy-object-editor/

    4) http://computerstepbystep.com/group_policy_windows_xp.html

    5) How To Fix MMC Could Not Create The Snap-in

    Where one suggests to delete the 'CLSID: {8FCOB734-A0E1-11D1-A7D3-0000F87571E3}' in the registry to create a new clsid on reboot/restart, I cannot delete it as it returns as an error.

    Have installed the gpedit.msc on my Tablet with no issues with same gpedit download.

    Any clues

    MMC could not create the snap-in


    When I try to access Windows Firewall Advanced Settings I get an error:"MMC could not create the snap-in. The snap-in might not have been installed correctly."I have followed instructions on various forums attempting to fix, such as:deleting the relevant registry keyre-installing the .net frameworkrebootingNothing seems to work.Other snap-ins appear to have the same problem.

    Any help would be appreciated.
