Diagnoses
After investigation it was determined (through trial and error in a VM) that the handler tags were locked in the applicationhost.config file. That file can be found under the path: :DRIVE]:/Windows/System32/inetsrv/config
Resolution
1) Run the command line as an administrator
2) Navigate it to %windir%system32inetsrv
3) Run the following: appcmd.exe unlock config "K2/Designer" -section:handlers -commitpath:apphost
That will unlock the section handlers.
