Windows 10: DistributedCOM- 10016 randomly shuts down my pc when gaming

Apparently this is a common occurrence that Windows 10 does, but is it so common that it will shut down your computer randomly no blue screen when you're playing any game. I've had this problem for multiple years, and somehow I've always fixed it temporarily and then months down the line it would come back randomly I've tried reinstalling Windows, upgrading Windows to 11 I've tried buying new SSDs I've tried using older windows versions/tried pausing Windows updates I've updated Windows completely with the latest GPU drivers. Doesn't seem to do anything I've tried looking up the error codes in
