    Hello,

    Based on the log, it seems that the network service does not have required permission, so please modify the security permission as the log says:

    • Log in as administrator.
    • Press Windows+R and enter "dcomcnfg".
    • Expand Component services->Computers in the left pane, then right-click "My Computer"->Properties.
    • Select "COM security", and click "Edit default" under "Launch and activation permissions".
    • Click "Add", enter "Network Service" and click "Check names", then click OK to add.
    • Select "Allow" for all 4 permissions, then select OK for all dialogs.
    • Reboot your computer and see whether the issue persists.

    Thanks for the response.
    I uninstalled a few softwares like NordVPN, and stopped others from starting up when the PC turn On, and I found that the computer will freeze after many minutes without touching it, like moving the mouse, or typing.

    This is the error now:
    The server {8CFC164F-4BE5-4FDD-94E9-E2AF73ED4A19} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout. (DistributerCOM 10010)

    Could it be that some hardware goes to sleep? or something like that?

    Thank you.

    Note:
    This is the warning before the error:

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

    I followed the link provided by LuisNY in an earlier reply and went to the Dell site and installed the Nvidia Driver. See image below. I haven't had any freezes since installing that driver.
