Windows 10: Black screen on second monitor - DistributedCom - 10016

Hi,I have MSI GE72 6QD and ever since I reinstalled my Windows 10 yesterday, sometimes the second monitor that I use as an only monitor looses signal, the laptop does not realise that it has been disconnected the laptop screen stays off, so I guess this is a software issue as it has never happened before.. The only error I see with the Event Viewer is DistributedCOM:The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {

Seeking Advice for DistributedCOM Error 10016

Windows 10 Pro - Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.867)
FWIW: I've avoided KB5001330 based on all the talk online.

(Please advise if I am posting in the wrong forum.)

My monitor just went blank and a quick check of my desktop indicated it was still running. A simple Off/On of my monitor's power switch brought it back to life.

My Event Viewer gave me "DistributedCOM Error 10016", and a quick Google Looksee tells me this: "DistributedCOM Error 10016" is common and may be NBD, but it can be fixed.

I'm interested in any thoughts/comments/suggestions.

TIA to all who read this post and to those who reply!

Event 10016, DistributedCOM


Hi,

What implications would that be ?
It's easy enough to fix if you follow the steps correctly:

Windows 10 Event ID 10010 and 10016 Errors With DistributedCOM

No need to wait and hold your breath. MS can't be bothered with errors that appear to be random or caused by third party software really.
