How to solve Distributed COM 10016 warning

Question

I was gaming when suddenly my screen crashes and not responding. I restarted my computer with my pc's power button and checked event viewer. and it said Distributed COM as a warning

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

Windows.SecurityCenter.WscCloudBackupProvider

and APPID

Unavailable

to the user DESKTOP-K2SVJ4N\user SID (S-1-5-21-1407950814-2242237186-4019317369-1001) 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've had this issue before.

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

{6B3B8D23-FA8D-40B9-8DBD-B950333E2C52}

and APPID

{4839DDB7-58C2-48F5-8283-E1D1807D0D7D}

to the user NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE SID (S-1-5-19) 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've fixed this from youtube tutorials and multiple websites. However, once I thought it was all done. Another Distributed COM emerges which I'm having trouble currently

I'm using windows 11. I had this issue for months. I hope this can be fixed. I will be waiting for the replies.

Answer 1

System is freezing and required a manual power off to restart, pretty sure it can't be safely ignored...

Answer 2

Hello,

From https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/application-management/event-10016-logged-when-accessing-dcom, Microsoft says:

"These events can be safely ignored because they do not adversely affect functionality and are by design. This is the recommend action for these events."

If you still like to fix, refer this guide (works on Windows 11):

Hope this helps!
