Hello Microsoft Experts, I need help.I have had continuous DPC watch dog error crashes. So far 888 Event ID 10016 so far for the month of August alone.I have gone down the rabbit hole of trying to fix this error for the past two days to no prevail. I should share, I know next to nothing about IT or Software and I have been relying on google and other folks who ask the same question on this forum for an answer. I have only recently, began observing this error. From the export event viewer table, sorted by warning level, beginning and end date/time march 1st 2022 to August 2022, Source Distr

Update and Event ID 10016

In late July K2B501588 was installed (automatically) on my system. Following this I began to experience system shut-downs from Event ID 10016. It happen about once an hour. After trying many of the fixes suggested on the forum, none of which worked, I uninstalled K2B501588 and the problem went away.

Two days ago KB5016629 and KB5015732 were installed (automatically) on my system. Shortly after I began to experience the same Event ID 10016 problems. Again unable to fix the issue, I uninstalled KB5016629 and KB5015732, and the problem went away.

I notice from the forum that KB5016629 includes some aspects of K2B501588.

Is it possible that these updates are causing the Event ID 10016 issues, and can anybody suggest a solution?

Hi EK,

10016 errors are generic and are present on every computer.

These 10016 events are recorded when Microsoft components tries to access DCOM components without the required permissions. In this case, this is expected and by design.

These events can be safely ignored because they do not adversely affect the functionality and are by design. This is the recommended action for these events.
