IIS Error : Remote connections are not supported

I have switched recently to windows 10 and have no clue if this is linked but my IIS doesn't seem to work as it used to. I previously had a remote connection to one of my website but every time I click its name in IIS it returns me an error: "Remote connections are not supported".

A quick check tells me that IIS Manager for Remote Administration is installed in its version 1.2. I have no idea what is happening and it is really frustrating because I cannot add any new website either.

I had a similar problem. I solved it by downloading and running "IIS Manager for Remote Administration 1.2" and doing a "Repair" operation. This did three things: 1) reduced the startup time for the IIS Manager dramatically, 2) added a "Start Page" root node in my IIS Manager Connections pane (I know this used to be there but I had not noticed it was missing after my Windows 10 update), and 3) fixed my remote connection node.
