Lately I get this system error a lot now that I have upgraded to Windows 8 Pro is a DistributedCom Event ID 10016. Below is the error text:

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 NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID (S-1-5-18) 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.

Anybody have any idea why I'm getting this error?

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 administrators. 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}

    I get the same errors in build 14332 and the build previous.  With time, the specific "running in the application container XXXXXX" changes.  With enough time, all the applications in \HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ActivatableClasses\Package will be tagged with a Event 10016, DistributedCOM errors.  Unlike earlier frequent Event 10016 errors, the problem user is not a Service's privileges, which can be fixed in Component Services, but a named USER who can be granted Local Activation permissions but as you discovered, will not fix the issue.  The errors don't seem to affect any of the apps.  Maybe the Event 10016 errors as well as the event 7023 and 7031 errors are just temporary until a new missing module is completed.  Then again, maybe not.

    I'm having same issue with fresh install of Windows 10. I followed all instructions exactly but still have the problem.. There's 2 that are recurrent

This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

    I don't get it. I changed reg key ownership for all 4 CLSID and AppIDs and in DCOM config I changed the security on the services (Immersive Shell and Windows Insider Service) to give local activation permission to System, Michael, Administrator, Administrators, Users (log just says Michael but I added all just in case).. still getting the error.. ugh. I give up

    Most likely, you assigned permissions, in one or more cases, to "Administrator" rather than to "Administrators". Omitting that critical "s" on the end of the word Administrators, in any case, causes the process not to work.

    I did everything like you said but when i try to edit the security in step 16 all the options are greyed out , i know you mentioned this

    "So use the relevant keys here and the DCOM Config should give you access to the greyed out areas*"*

    but how do i do that ?  also there is no add user button 

    i know this thread is 3 years old now but i hope you'll reply
