I was having issues with my VPN client not connecting properly. After doing some troubleshooting I went to run netsh winsock reset
(yes, I know I misspelled "winsock" above... regardless the issue remains.
which as you can see did not have the normal response.. after further investigation any netsh command would fail similarly
results in the following event log error entry
