Error - Event ID: 10016; DistributedCOM

I am getting this error repeatedly since I updated from Windows 8 to 8.1. It occurs once every time the PC is booted, about 2 minutes after it boots up.

Can you please help me to fix it?

Log Name:      System

Source:        Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCOM

Date:          10/20/2013 3:19:04 PM

Event ID:      10016

Task Category: None

Level:         Error

Keywords:      Classic

User:          LOCAL SERVICE

Computer:     

Description:

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

{C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}

 and APPID

{316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}

 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.

The APPID {316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97} is for a COM application called "Immersive Shell". I cannot use the Component Services administrative tool to edit the security permissions because every setting is "grayed-out".

I tried running in Safe Mode and was still unable to modify any of the Immersive Shell settings.

The PC has no software installed except for the latest Intel drivers. I performed a clean installation of Windows 8, installed chipset, VGA, Intel Rapid Storage Tech, LAN, and Intel Management Engine drivers. Then I updated to 8.1 through the Store app. The errors began immediately after that update.

The PC has an ASUS Z87 motherboard, 16 Gb of DDR3-1866 ram, Intel i7-4770k cpu. It is not overclocked but memory is in XMP mode at frequency 1866. The system drive is an SSD.

In system event viewer, I started getting error Event ID: 10016 after upgrading to Win8.1 on October 17, 2013.  The system event viewer on my Dell XPS One 2710 was error free prior to upgrading from Win8 to Win8.1.

The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239} and APPID

{316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}  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.

For me, the solution was provided by Greg310 in Dulwichdik's link as follows:

  1. Open Regedit
  2. Go to HKEY_Classes_Root\CLSID{C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}
  3. Right click on it then select permissions
  4. Click Advance and change the owner to Administrators group. Also click the box that will appear below the owner line. ("Replace owner ...")
  5. Apply full control
  6. Go to HKEY_LocalMachine\Software\Classes\AppID{316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}
  7. Right click on it then select permission
  8. Click Advance and change the owner to Administrators group
  9. Click the box that will appear below the owner line
  10. Click Apply and grant full control to the Administrators group
  11. Go to Administrative tools
  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 [Immersive Shell]
  15. Right click on it then click properties
  16. Click security tab then click Add User. Add Local Service then apply
  17. Tick the Activate local box

Thank you Daniel MoisesMagulado and Greg310 for addressing the problem and providing the solution!

    CLSID und APPID Nesselsucht sind durch "Trusted Installer" in Microsoft Windows 10 10586 bauen und Sie werden nicht die volle Berechtigung erhalten werden können (auch als Administrator = Besitzer) mit Regedit eine dieser Tasten zu bearbeiten, ohne den Takeown Befehl zuerst der Datei, aber ich nicht wissen, welche Datei, wäre ......

    Frank in Abra: Vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfe.

    Aber....

    Dam, mit tose Distributed COM-Fehler (10016) Ich bin jeden Tag abstürzt, ich bin gelangweilt.

    Muss ich, um zu beten einen Fix zu bekommen? ernst nehmen? Microsoft?

    With Google translator... ;-)

    Have determined that for my errors "ID 10016", partially the settings (delete cookies) in the FireFox are responsible.

    Is in the settings under "Data protection-Chronicle, Clear the Chronicle when Firefox is closed"

    also delete cookies, then error messages are generated when the FireFox "ID -10016" is terminated.

    This sounds a bit strange, but the Tatschen, I have searched for a long time. So before something is changed in the registry and the component services, the FireFox settings should be checked.

    Sure, not all "ID-10016" errors are due to the cookie settings in the FireFox, however

    It is an approach for an error search.

    I have Windows 10 Pro 64Bit (version 1607, Build 14393,447) and FireFox 50.0.2 64Bit

    My error messages in the event log are as follows:

    (CLSID and APPID refer to "Search Gatherer Notification" and "WSeach")

    Durch die Berechtigungseinstellungen für "Anwendungsspezifisch" wird dem Benutzer "PC-Name\bruno" (SID: S-1-5-21-4018834763-1857290072-161945620-1001) unter der Adresse "LocalHost (unter Verwendung von LRPC)" keine Berechtigung vom Typ "Lokal Aktivierung" für die COM-Serveranwendung mit der CLSID

    {9E175B6D-F52A-11D8-B9A5-505054503030}

     und der APPID

    {9E175B9C-F52A-11D8-B9A5-505054503030}

     im Anwendungscontainer "Nicht verfügbar" (SID: Nicht verfügbar) gewährt. Die Sicherheitsberechtigung kann mit dem Verwaltungstool für Komponentendienste geändert werden.

    Mr Frank Abra,

    Thank you for your kind explanation.

    There is one step that is not possible for me, and if possible, I would like uor opinion.

    As you mentioned, at Security tab all options are greyed out, but the point is that this occurs even after I took ownership (both APPID and CLSID) and rebooted.

    What are other possible alternatives for me to finish this issue?

    Please notice: I'm running a notebook with Windows 10 (v.1607 and build 14393.479) at a Windows Server 2012 r2 domain (I have an administrator profile).

    Regards

    Unfortunately, {C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239} does not appear anywhere in my Registry, so this solution won't work.

    I would think that the above 'fix' would apply to the AppID being shown in the Event ID Error Message and not necessarily the one used in the tutorial...

    I get these errors from time to time as 'shut down' errors...i.e. when I shut the PC down then start up, let's say the next morning...those errors show time stamped when I actually shut it down an not on Startup...

    Personally I have just about toggled off all the W10 Store Apps, Cortana and all  other sorts of things W10 has introduced and each 'accumulative' update seems to try and re-set those things back causing those dreaded shut down errors.

    I would say if the App ID being shown is different then use the one currently showing in your Event ID report using the same guide...what we are doing is changing the permissions an letting the LOCAL SERVICE do it's thing.
