Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Error

I came across an issue with SSMS not loading properly recently. Regardless of launching from the start menu with or without administrator, SSMS would error out.

Due to this error, I also could not uninstall SSMS to try a repair.

After much trial and error and Google/Bing searches I was able to correct the issue by removing a registry key.
“HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio”

Once I removed the registry key, I was able to uninstall and reinstall SSMS.
