I don't know how to actually do that.Hello, currently every time I turn off the computer I see that some DCOM errors are created in the event viewer, I wanted to know if these errors could be harmful or if they can be repaired,

The error of these events is the following:

"The server {AB8902B4-09CA-4BB6-B78D-A8F59079A8D5} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout."

    Hello,

    If your system is functioning properly, feel free to disregard this; DCOM is merely one of your system's integral components, akin to the Start Menu. To provide more context, the specific instance you're encountering is the "Thumbnail Cache Class Factory for Out of Process Server". You can verify this information by exploring your Registry: navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (HKCR) > CLSID > [the specific DCOM ID].
