I applied about 6 .NET Framework Patches on 6/17/2012 and now I am unable to open the Hyper-V Management Console, Components, Computer Management. If I just run MMC.EXE from Windows\System32 it at least launches. I uninstalled the patches but the problem stil exists. The exact errors are below:

I'm in similar situation. We updated the patches last weekend and MMC does not open up when we are trying to open Server Manager but other machines who has similar patches are working fine. I guess the patches might not have installed properly. Let me repair the updates and will try.
Can you share the solution if you have fixed it already.
Thanks

Hi Ravi and David
Could you share the specific KB updates pertaining to Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile as I applied some patches which resulted in the MMC and the application crashes. To make matters worse.. IE 9 also started crashing!!
I am assuming these are the ones which need to be repaired / re-installed
1. Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable - 10.0.30319
2. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Shell (Isolated) - ENU - 10.0.40219
Appreciate your inputs.

Many thanks Tom! This working Perfectly!!! :DI've got this same issue on several servers, and I can also confirm that uninstalling and reinstalling KB2686831, then rebooting will fix the issue with the MMC.
Is there a way to restore the MMC without the reboot? I notice that this hotfix is a security hotfix for .NET Framework 3.5.1. Is there a service (or series of services) that can be bounced (or another series of actions) to restore the MMC functionality?
Thanks!
