Can't access Computer Management via right click

Start C:\Windows\System32\compmgmt.msc
Exit

Save batch file and exit

Type Regedit and do a search for CompMgmtLauncher.exe

Mine was located here.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Manage\command]

Under this key you will find a line that ends in CompMgmtLauncher.exe

Change the exe to bat and Manage should now work.

I know it is not the best fix in the world but it gets your right-click manage back up and running fast.

SOLUTION 2:

In the Command below

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\Manage\command]

Put: "%SystemRoot%\system32\mmc.exe" "%SystemRoot%\system32\compmgmt.msc" /s

Computer Management Console will work fine.
