Do you have any idea what can cause this? It looks like some metro app error, but i have installed only metro version of Skype..

Thank you for help

Answer 1

Looks like it's concerning this user

Laco SID (S-1-5-21-114075978-3407090206-334080855-1001)

If that is your current user, can you uninstall Skype and it goes away?

I would think if it does, then perhaps right click the main Skype executable, compatibility, change compatibility for All users, and add 'run as admin' to the launch property?

Answer 2

That is not possible. I am using new metro Skype, not version for "Desktop".

Answer 3

That would be all great and everything, except, unless you take ownership of the AppID (the other long string), you can't edit permissions on the Component.

Answer 4

Or when you have no idea where the app ID is, and there is no search in component services.. i've got one 

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

{9BA05972-F6A8-11CF-A442-00A0C90A8F39}

 and APPID 

{9BA05972-F6A8-11CF-A442-00A0C90A8F39}

 to the user QOSIMO\_ SID (S-1-5-21-1761934528-204544772-851129101-1001) 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.
