Cant open pictures. Remote procedure call failed


Hello community,

I have a really frustrating problem with Windows 10 N (fresh installation, no upgrade from 7) and I'd really appreciate your help!

I'm getting this error:


... when I try to open any picture (jpeg, gif).

I have followed different forum topics for solutions and so far I:
- Double checked that RPC service is running & on automatic. RPC Locator is not started & on manual
- Previously had some issues with opencl.dll being corrupted, but following Kyhi's suggestions here:
Error DISM restorehealth - Windows 10 Forums
.. I managed to fix it (as you can see from the screenshot, the sfc shows no errors anymore)

In the event viewer I get these:

Activation of app Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App failed with error: The remote procedure call failed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.

ActivateApplicationForContractByAcidAsUserWithHost of the app Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App for the Windows.File contract failed with The remote procedure call failed..

Activation of the app Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App for the Windows.File contract failed with error: The remote procedure call failed..

Activation via contract helper of the app Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App for the Windows.File contract failed with The remote procedure call failed..

... when I try to open a jpeg file.

Any help will be much appreciated!

Best regards,
Marin

 

Error: "The remote procedure call failed" while trying to access Windows Store on Windows 10

Hi Vishnu,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community and being a part of Windows 10.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing in accessing Windows Store apps and installing Windows Updates on your device.

We appreciate your effort and time spent in resolving the issue.

As you receive an error: The remote procedure call failed, I suggest you to check the status of Remote Procedure Call locator service.

Step 1: Make sure the Remote Procedure Call status is Started and set to Automatic. RPC Locator should be set to Manual. Follow the below steps for the same:

• Press Windows + R keys from the keyboard to open
  Run command.
• Type services.msc in the search box and press
  Enter.
• Search for the Remote Procedure Call locator service
• Make sure the Start-up type is Manual.
  

Steps to set the services to Automatic

• Right click on the service
• If the service is stopped then Start the service
• Select Properties
• And in the Start-up type, select Manual.

Step 2: I suggest you to run Windows Update troubleshooter as it resolves
problems that prevents you from updating windows.

Steps:

• 
  Press Windows + X, click on
  Control Panel, select Category and then select
  Large or Small icons.
  
• Click on Troubleshooting and click on View all
  in the left pane.
• Select Windows Update
• Click on Advanced, check mark
  Apply repairs automatically, and then click on Run as Administrator.
• Follow the onscreen instructions

Hope it helps. Get back to us with an updated status of this issue for further assistance.

 

I get this error when invoking Control Panel ::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}\0 The remote procedure call failed

OS = Win10 1607, error message when invoking Control Panel ::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}\0 The remote procedure call failed.

I have found some similar errors but with same code but slightly different text.

one suggestion was to check the Remote Procedure Call status and RPC Locator. Both of these services were correct, i.e. the first set to auto the second to manual.

the next step was to run the system file checker which I did and got no errors.

there were no further steps suggested.

If there is an easy fix then that would be great as I would like to preserve the Office install as I cannot locate the license key.

many thanks
