The Storage Spaces control panel widget is missing in the control panel on a Windows Server 2012 R2 system.
I know storage spaces itself is operational because the volumes and files are up and accessible. Plus they check out fine via Server Manager as well as powershell (see below)
Question: How do I get the Storage Spaces control panel icon back into the control panel? The icon itself isn't mission critical (nor is this server, it's just important) but since it's something basic that's broken I'd like to resolve this.
Powershell
PS C:\windows\system32> get-storagepool -FriendlyName "Storage pool"
FriendlyName OperationalStatus HealthStatus IsPrimordial IsReadOnly
------------ ----------------- ------------ ------------ ----------
Storage pool OK Healthy False False
PS C:\windows\system32>
Did the basics like deleting windows search cache (the missing/corrupt control panel widget broke start -> "storage" -> click "storage spaces") as well as sfc /scannow
(which shows all ok)
Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.
Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
