Windows 10: mmc.exe - Application Unable to Start (0xc0000102)

When i'm trying to run anything from the MMC or any MSC related apps in my local account (An Administrator), all i get is an error : The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000102)., and if i do try running mmc.exe, all i get is a Blank MMC, and the taskbar name "Console1". But if i do try running it thru an elevated CMD, i can start them fine (Example: compmgmt.msc). I have tried running SFC, DISM, and chkdsk /f /r, but they all do return a "normal" answer (all is fine).



Steps Reproduced:


1. SFC/ SCANNOW: no integrity violations

2. DISM: all is good
3. chkdsk/f /r - initially what caused the problems in MMC. I ran a chkdsk command from my laptop when it suddenly caused a bootloop. (Stuck in Preparing Startup Repair)

4. regsvr32 msxml.dll/msxml2.dll.msxml3.dll: msxml and msxml2 not found in sys32 folder. only msxml3.


Problems Found:

1. Missing MSXML and MSXML2. (but sfc and dism still does not recognize these problems)


Is there any fix to these problems? Aside from a full reset (a last resort)?
