dcomcnfg gives this error:

---------------------------

DCOM Configuration Warning!

---------------------------

The CLSID {00020800-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}, item C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Root\Office16\GRAPH.EXE and title Microsoft Graph Application has the named value AppID, but is not recorded under \\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppId.  Do you wish to record it?

---------------------------

Yes   No   

---------------------------  

(This also occurred with CNFNOT32, VPREVIEW, and SDXHelper)

I started looking into this after I saw this event log error:

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID 

{2593F8B9-4EAF-457C-B68A-50F6B8EA6B54}

 and APPID 

{15C20B67-12E7-4BB6-92BB-7AFF07997402}

 to the user PlumPC\carte SID (S-1-5-21-3144050359-1279354473-1612148908-1001) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

I think PID 1660 points to "Service Host: Remote Procedure Call (2)"

if I expand that in Task Manager, I get "Remote Procedure Call (RPC)" and "RPC Endpoint Mapper" and both do not have PIDs.

What do these mean? What do I do?
