Just noticed that Disk Management is missing from the Console Tree in
Computer Management.

How do I get it back in Computer Management?

I can open Disk Management via the DISKMGMT.MSC

MSC files are Windows/System32 files. If you can run diskmgmt.msc
you have the file in your system but your compmgmt.msc may
be corrupt for not listing the diskmgmt.msc. Try the following:

Start>Run>type SFC /SCANNOW press Enter (space between C and /)
This action performs a System File Check for missing or corrupt files
and may ask you for your OS disk to reinstall these system files.

You can also try a System Restore, you can go back up to 90 days.

Turned out to be a Registry error (missing UID entries) in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MMC

MS Tech Support gave me the fix.

You should post the fix here so others may benefit from it. I have the
same problem and noticed there is no entry in the the registry path you
posted. Now I need to know what is supposed to be there.
