DCOM

Question

How do you actually turn off DCOM, aka Distributed COM, aka Distributed Component Object Model?

I've been to Component Services My PC and unchecked enable. I've been to the register and basically destroyed Olé. I've been to the Event Viewer and selected connect to this computer. Nothing works.

I still get errors that dcom is trying to establish a connection to an outside source or homegroup that doesn't exist. Olé has rebuilt itself except the switch to enable dcom. The selection at the Event View reverts back to the "outside" world.

I DO not have any Bluetooth devices, any devices that need to be synced, no Wi-Fi, no homegroup, no intranet, no connection to anything except an ISP.

What I'm beginning to think is that the need to be in constant contact with somebody, to be part of a group is so embedded in Windows that there is no way to disable it.

So either admit it or show me how.

Windows 10.0.16299.248

AMD x64 based processor

Answer 1

If the errors that are recorded from the event log are affecting other components or interrupting with other services leading to performance issue, then these are the errors that we need to check for further assessment. Should you encounter other DCOM errors or experience any unusual device's performance, you can update this thread for further support.

Let us know should you have other concerns.

Answer 2

That's just it. There are no devices requesting permission. But because I think it is because DCOM is embedded is the OS like Edge, I have no other choice.

When do enough inconsequential errors add up to a critical event?

Answer 3

We appreciate the comprehensive response. The log appears to be records of certain processes which don't have permission to the DCOM components. If the recorded logs doesn't imply a direct effect on the device's performance, then we suggest not modify/configure DCOM since this may cause other issues/ may have side effects. In addition, it's better to just ignore these errors because they don't adversely affect functionality.

You can check this support article for more information regarding the error on the log that you received.

Let us know should you need further assistance.

Answer 4

Sorry, I guess Windows 10.0.16299.258 didn't explain the version of Windows.

Windows 10 Home version 1709  OS build 16299.258

Did you understand that I'm using an AMD 2.7 GHz 64 based processor?

The first is a DCOM

The second is a Bluetooth. I don't have any such devices and settings shows that.

These errors are related.

Hi,

Your concern regarding DCOM can be caused by a sudden change on the device's configuration or corrupted system file. To isolate your concern, we'd like to ask the following:

• Which Windows build version is running on your device? Type winver in the search box and press Enter to help you identify the build.
• What is the exact error message? If you can attach a screenshot on your next post, to help us better identify the issue.
• Have you made any changes on your device prior to your concern?
• Other than the event log error, are you seeing any unusual behavior?

Meanwhile, you can perform the methods provided on this support article on how to troubleshoot network related connection issues in Windows 10. Click on the drop-down arrow to view the steps.

We'll appreciate if you can send us an update.
