Problem
Attempted Solutions
I added my account in AD to the groups Administrators, Domain Admins, Domain Users, IIS_Users.
IIS was missing the icons in red in the management section
so I ran the IIS Manager as administrator, entered the credentials of a domain account frequently used to install software and added the management service to get those icons.
I then added myself to the server and to the sites but for my account IIS Manager still looks like the first screenshot.
What permission setting could I still be missing?

Try right-click on "Start Page", and then "Connect to server", type in your server's name/IP. I think you have just somehow deleted the connection to the server.
