DCOM errors EventID 10016

Question

Hello,

First, let me say that i already have read quite a few past topics on this issue and already tried what was suggested (take ownership as admin in registry, use Component Services to modify Launch and Activation and add the Administrators group etc. These things do NOT work in my case, at all.

A few details: this DCOM error appears each time I start my browser, Opera. They might appear on other applications, but so far, I can only connect them to Opera with 100% certainty.

Exact error is:

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

{D63B10C5-BB46-4990-A94F-E40B9D520160}

and APPID

{9CA88EE3-ACB7-47C8-AFC4-AB702511C276}

to the user DESKTOP-XXXXXXXX\razXX SID (S-1-5-21-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) 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 have not see that SID, ever. The user is indeed mine, my Microsoft account, admin.
• there is an "Account Unknown" with another SID in Runtimebroker permissions. I should specify this is a completely new install, and this is pretty much the same SID (S-1-15-3-1024-1065365936-1281604716-3511738428-1654721687-432734479-3232135806-4053264122-3456934681) as mentioned here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/3e7d85e3-d0e1-4e79-8141-0bbf8faf3644/windows-10-anniversary-update-the-case-of-the-mysterious-account-sid-causing-the-flood-of-dcom?forum=win10itprosetup
• Edit: Chrome also generates the error. Edge does not. Internet Explorer does not. 

I have revisited the settings i modified in regedit and component services a few times to make sure everything is correct, and it looks like it is. The owner is myself, as in part of Administrators group, the Administrators are added with full permissions, and yet the error pops up each time I launch Opera, with full certainty. I understand this might not impact the OS performance, yet I'd still love to clean the Event Log from these pesky errors.

Any help appreciated - but please don't copy/paste to me the previous troubleshooting steps or direct me to past topics without a real solution. If it's truly necessary, I can post screenshots as proof that those steps were performed.

Unless the error is actually also tied to something causing a problem i would ignore it. Most event viewer errors can be and should be safely ignored.

If you really want to troubleshoot the issue (which is likely to be fruitless).

The odds are the error is actually in Opera (even an add-in), the network drivers used, any 3rd party antivirus, or a startup program. If it is in Windows then only the developers are likely to be able to help.

Check with Opera Support and Forums.

Is there any specific info in the lower pane of the Event Viewer log.

TIP : Options - Advanced Options - allows you to see a time frame instead of the whole file - set it to a bit before and after the time of the EVENT.

Try the Clean Boot method to see if a startup program is involved - if so it is a process of elimination :

Right Click the start button - Command Prompt (Admin) OR Windows PowerShell (Admin) - at the prompt type in

MSCONFIG

and hit enter
