Answer 1

See Microsoft's explanation here.

Excerpts:

" ... this behavior is expected and by design."

"These errors don't adversely affect functionality."

"Modifying the permissions can have unintended side effects."

Answer 2

Hello,

From https://docs.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:

Hope this helps!
