Windows 10: Distributed COM error--application-specific permission settings

I have seen some veteran members here post about event viewer messages in the past, in the days of Win 7 and Win 8... with the general consensus not to bother with addressing them unless you're experiencing a functional issue. Is that generally still true in Windows 10?

Generally I like to run a "clean ship" and have resolved a few event viewer messages by correcting a registry entry or deleting a program and reinstalling it. But some recurring ones are a bit more mysterious and I wonder if there's any sense in trying to track them down and correct them.

Case in point, this repetitive entry:
"The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID XXX and AppID XXX...".
- EventData param1 application-specific param2 Local param3 Activation param4 {D63B10C5-BB46-4990-A94F-E40B9D520160} param5 {9CA88EE3-ACB7-47C8-AFC4-AB702511C276} param6 NT AUTHORITY param7 LOCAL SERVICE param8 S-1-5-19 param9 LocalHost (Using LRPC) param10 Unavailable param11 Unavailable

My event system log has a number of these entries with different CLSID's that periodically repeat. I noticed in the end of the message, "This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool." That leads me to believe that it can be corrected.

Question is, should I bother trying to track down the security permission required and fix it? Or is it just better to track down the program associated with the CLSID or AppID and uninstall/re-install it? Or... should I not even bother and simply accept that Windows 10 events are going to contain some mysterious error entries no matter what?
