Failed to retrieve the system DEP policy

I've been getting this error on my Windows 8.1 Pro when I run EMET GUI. I think it's related to when I changed the apps configuration.

I tried uninstalling/reinstalling and I get "Could not create EMET default configuration. Please run this program as an Administrator" even though I am running it as Administrator.

Then I get this error when I run EMET GUI (tried both EMET 5.1 and 4.1 update 1 and have the same error)
