Damn Autoplay Event ID 10010

Anonymous
2017-09-28T20:52:13+00:00

Autoplay is disabled in the Control Panel, disabled in Services.msc, disabled in the registry a million way, and disabled in Group Policy, add to the above DCOM is on Manual not automatic start, yet I still can't get rid of this error:

The server {995C996E-D918-4A8C-A302-45719A6F4EA7} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

I understand it is not a biggie, I just want to suppress it so it never shows up in the Event Viewer, any idea? Anyone?

System: Windows 7 Pro.

Hi Magdy,

The issue you are experiencing may have been caused by corrupted system files.

You can run the System File Checker and DISM tool. The System File Checker (SFC) is a utility in Windows that scans for corrupted Windows system files. If it finds a problem, it will try to replace the problematic system files from a cached version that’s on your PC. If SFC can’t replace the files, the Deployment Image Service and Management Tool (DISM) can check the corrupted files then download and replace the files through Windows Update.

  1. On the Start menu, type Command Prompt and then hit Enter.
  2. Right-click the result, choose Run as administrator.
  3. Copy or type each command followed by hitting Enter.

       sfc /scannow

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Should you need further assistance, feel free to get back to us.

    Solved:

    Everyone pay attention, The server {995C996E-D918-4A8C-A302-45719A6F4EA7} has to do with Remote Interactive User, meaning Remote Desktop, it was disabled for the simple reason it is a horrible program, I use TeamViewer instead, a true state of the art top notch program.

    It is clear Microsoft doesn't want you to disable Remote Desktop Service, enabling it, solved this error below:

    The server {995C996E-D918-4A8C-A302-45719A6F4EA7} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

    P.S. AutoPlay is also Interactive User app but it solved nothing, Remote Desktop is the real culprit.

    You all have a nice day.

    Since it will take me a long time before I figure out a solution, I decided to disable Event Viewer, it is a joke, I never get an error while working in Windows and truth be told, Windows doesn't give any startup app two full minutes to start a DCOM server, not even 30 seconds, not even 15 seconds, this is total absurdity, for TechNet to tell me this error has to do with the server not replying within a two minutes period is Grandiose B.S. of the Highest Order.

    I don't believe for one second Microsoft has any clue how this error is produced or what causes it, it never answered this problem correctly, except just neglect it, so I will. Thanks for your help, consider it solved.

    Oh dear, I run SFC /Scannow quite often, so far it hasn't found any corrupted file, but I love this new command you listed, I will run it one more time.

    This is my take, there must be an old entry of autoplay like that of an external CD which is no longer connected, I need to find this old entry in the registry and delete it or possibly delete many old entries, I do connect and disconnect so many Flash Drives and to lesser degree few SD Cards and once in a great while an external CD-DVD writer, I just need to know the location in the registry where all these old entries would reside, hopefully today I will figure it out.
