Using Server 2022 and installed SQL Express 2022 and had the same issue. Reloading c++ 2017 redistributable software corrected the issue.

Try to run SQL Server Installation and Repair your SQL Server. It works for me.

*Note: Before doing this, make sure that your user has Administrative righs to run MMC, unless it's not Administrator, below procedure won't work.

  1. Win button + R, then type mmc and press enter.
  2. Choose File->Add/Remove Snap-in.
  3. Click Add to Console Root
  4. and find the "SQL Server Configuration Manager"

You will be able to use it from there or replace existing console by saving it to bin folder of you SQL server's installation.

Note: This is the only option that really worked for me...

This guy here had the same problem: MMC could not create the snap-in. SQL Server configuration manager error

I said there that I had the same problem and found out that it was an issue with .net framework.

I downloaded this file: "dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe" from Microsoft website, and used the "repair" option. It worked for me. Hope it helps.
