Event ID 10016 - The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

You skipped step 4), that is why in the "Security" tab you see "Launch and Activation" and "Access Permissions" "Edit" boxes greyed out.

In REGEDIT give "Administrator" ownership of *HKEY_Classes_Root\CLSID\CLSID* *{C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}*and click the box to replace permissions of all subkeys.

Then in step 16), you'll see both "Edit" boxes activated. Click the "Launch and Activation" "Edit" box, add SYSTEM account with local launch and activation permissions.

Just the first of the three--you'll note that's the one specifically referenced in the error.

But it doesn't matter--the bug, in Win10, at least, is that even if the permission is added, the errors continue.

Of course, we shouldn't have to change such permissions in the first place, which is the more fundamental problem. So, looked at that way, it's broken in all respects.

Same thing here. Greyed out. Windows 8.1 seems to fill the Event viewer with far more errors than previous versions.

edit: OK, found out why it was greyed out. There are 2 reg keys you have to set permissions to before you go to the DCOM Configuration in Component services. The CLSID key and the APPID key.

From another forum, although it applies to a different app, same principle:

*1. Open Regedit.2. Go to HKEY_Classes_Root\CLSID\*CLSID*.Note: *CLSID* stand for the ID that appears in your event viewer error. In your case, it's {C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}.3. Right click on it then select permission.4. Click Advance and change the owner to administrator. Also click the box that will appear below the owner line.5. Apply full control.6. Close the tab then go to HKEY_LocalMachine\Software\Classes\AppID\*APPID*.Note: *AppID* is the ID that appears in your event viewer. In your case it's {316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}.7. Right click on it then select permission.8. Click Advance and change the owner to administrators.9. Click the box that will appear below the owner line.10. Click Apply and grant full control to Administrators.11. Close all tabs and go to Administrative tool.12. Open component services.13. Click Computer, click my computer, then click DCOM.14. Look for the corresponding service that appears on the error viewer.15. Right click on it then click properties.16. Click security tab then click Add User. Add SYSTEM then apply.17. Tick the Activate local box.So use the relevant keys here and the DCOM Config should give you access to the greyed out areas:*CLSID:

{D63B10C5-BB46-4990-A94F-E40B9D520160}

and APPID

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

Windows 10 x64 (with fall update, 1511 b10586.3)

as from: 14 onwards I got a bit puzzled.

a) whilst being the in respective registry-keys it is worthwhile to note what is stated at (Default) Data, e.g. Immersive Shell

this will be helpful at point (14)

b) at (14)

but then... at point (16)

under tab 'Security' there are few options.

Q: How to proceed here??

thanks

If Microsoft would like to rollout a troubleshooter fix that corrects the problem in a recommended manner, I'm all for running it but random system permission changes are not for me.

Astoundingly, they have, and like Dorothy found, we had it all along.

In the classic Control Panel, Find and Fix Problems (or Troubleshooting, if you have the Small Icons view), and then View All over on the left.

Choose "Search and Indexing."  I told it to run as admin, unchecked the option to automatically fix, and didn't select any of the check boxes that it presented. It told me that it found permission problems, which I told it to correct. I rebooted afterwards.

This worked for me, no more error messages in Event Viewer.
