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:
SFC/ SCANNOW: no integrity violations
DISM: all is good
chkdsk/f /r - initially what caused the problems in MMC, and other areas of the laptop. I ran a chkdsk command from my laptop when it suddenly caused a bootloop. (Stuck in Preparing Startup Repair)
regsvr32 msxml.dll/msxml2.dll.msxml3.dll: msxml and msxml2 not found in sys32 folder. only msxml3.
Workarounds:
1. Start .msc's from Elevated CMD
Other related Problems Found:
- 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)?

Do they work correctly for other user accounts? How about from yours, only in Safe Mode? If you were having disk errors, then a reset is probably your best bet (after ensuring the disk is OK and/or replaced), as based on what's here, it sounds like it's a permissions problem (possibly ACL corruption caused by disk errors), and those are usually REALLY hard to find (to correct).

It sounds like the application is not having access to some resource. Could it be that you installed a new .NET Framework? Maybe some files changed ownership

Or have you uninstalled the .NET Framework?

as an addition to the launching of administrative tools on an elevated cmd, they will also work in their normal way of launching (Win+X; Searching the tools) IF i turn off UAC
