I have an issue where I can't run any windows inbuilt system control applications like disk management, device manager, group policy editor, etc because mmc.exe is blocked by administrator.This is a fresh install of Windows 11 on a newly built machine, I am the only user account and I am an admin. The workaround to run mmc.exe as admin does not work. If I open Powershell as admin and launch mmc.exe through there, it works and I can add the plug ins for disk management and device manager etc.
