SQL Server Configuration Manager- Services missing

Question

I've had an instance of SQL Server (Express) installed on a local CPU, working fine, that today suddenly is encountering an error during connection in SSMS to the server.

In following the steps from some discussions about this, in config manager, I see nothing showing for Services.

Discovery report shows this installed.

Any ideas on what I need to do in order to link back again to the server?

Answer 1

I was able to resolve the issue by running the Maintenance-Repair feature with the installation center and then I ran repair for SSMS on top of that. Not sure what happened still and am interested if anyone has any ideas.
