After recent security updates, MMC is different, not that I normally use it anyway.
Have to be on a domain now?
It loads ok anyway, but...
"About group policy management" -> 1/2 Microsoft Corp ??

That's the Group Policy editor for administering Active Directory domains, gpmc.msc. If you want to edit local policies, use gpedit.msc.

Unlike Group Policy Editor, the Group Policy Management snap-in isn't part of a normal Pro Edition install.

Did you install the optional RSAT (Remove Server Administration Tools)? That's where it came from.

No, never used RSAT.
Never mind, it's just a launchpad anyway and GPEDIT and SECPOL work standalone, which is all that really matters.
Probably just a glitch in the matrix that it worked previously, now patched.
