I created a custom console in MMC and saved it. The action pane is shown by default, so I turned it off to get more viewing space (View > Customize... > uncheck Action Pane). When I tried to save it again in the same folder, I got this error:

MMC cannot save the console

It's not a permissions problem and the console is in Author mode. How can I save it without the Action Pane?

NOTE: Linking this question because it's the same error message though for that user the error may have been caused by something else.

Fortunately, the solution is easy to implement. MMC files are in XML format and can be modified in a text editor. Notepad++ is free and colorizes the XML as shown: ActionPaneVisible

Change ActionsPaneVisible to "false" and save. Tested on Windows 11 though likely works on other versions.
