Windows 10: Event ID: 10016 Causes PC to freeze

Since 4 days ago, my PC will freeze and not respond to anything. I will have to do a hard reset. There is no patterns, it can be when I am browsing web, gaming, working on a Word doc on OneDrive, just not doing anything. My PC already froze like more than 10 times over 4 days. I already isolated if those were hardware issues.


My Windows 10 1909 is already patched. Drivers already patched. I already did a virus scan using Defender. I already did an integrity check on system file checker DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

I noticed whenever it froze, there is a warning event, Event ID: 10016.


I already used regedit to set permission for CLSID {2593F8B9-4EAF-457C-B68A-50F6B8EA6B54} and APPID {15C20B67-12E7-4BB6-92BB-7AFF07997402}, changing owner to administrators and give full control to administrators. What else can I do?

Event ID 10016

Solved Numerous event id 10016 errors win 8 pro 64 bit

Here is the basic outline ...

1. Search the registry for the CLSID
2. Make note of the Default Value, which is the name (ex. ShellExperienceHost, RuntimeBroker) you're going to look for in DCOM
3. Change the Owner to Administrators
4. Give Administrators Full Control
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the APPID
6. WinKey + s > type in component services > click on Component Services in list
7. Component Services > Computers > My Computer > DCOM Config
8. Change the View to Details
9. Find the name from step 2 (ex. ShellExperienceHost, RuntimeBroker)
10. Right Click on the Name > Properties
11. Select the Security Tab
12. Launch & Activation Permissions > Click Edit
13. Look for the offending user from the 10016 (ex. System, Local Service) and make sure it has the activation requested (ex. Local Activation). If the offending user does NOT exist, you have to add it and give it Local Launch and Local Activation
14. Click Apply
15. Close DCOM and Regedit
16. Reboot PC

Note: Make sure you understand the steps before doing them

 

Event ID 10016

I changed it to Administrators and gave it full control in Reg. Then re-booted. When I go to DECOM config, It's all grayed out. I tried login as administrator and same thing. Any Ideas?
