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

Just as an update, while the troubleshooter may fix a related problem that can possibly contribute to at least the frequency of this error, it's not the silver bullet. I think that's going to come in the form of an update to Windows, since there's absolutely no way that this is intended behavior.

If you go through the trouble of giving it the permission that it asks for, it still happens. It even happens on a clean install of TH2!  You may not see the extreme frequency of the errors with a clean install, but it's the exact same error pertaining to the exact same thing (Cortana, aka the Immersive Shell).

I'm working with support on this, and they've submitted it to the product team for review.

I did the permissions thing, and the 10016 disappeared. 

I run the troubleshooter, and didn't find any problems.

But yesterday I had 38 such errors again, with the same "offender" RunTimeBroker.

BTW; still experiencing problems with Cortana, as it stops working out of the blue, and I have to kill the task for it to reinitialize.

[EDIT]

It seemed to be a one off...

But now, after applying the 1511 build (Nov. upgrade ) I get the same error again for RunTimeBroker.......

The update has restored permissions....!!!

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.

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??
