    Laptop freezes with DistributedCOM error in event manager


    Recently, I've been playing Fortnite, but it has been crashing a lot. I believe it has been caused by a repeating error visible in event manager.Event Manager LogI have linked a Dropbox link with the specific description for the errors.Every time it crashes, my computer slows down the game's frames to a complete stop in about a second. No inputs work; I have to do a hard shutdown to get it to work again. It's stuck on the last visible frame when it crashes. This has happened a good number of times, and every time, it shows the same thing in event manager.

  2. Are you getting DistributedCOM Event ID: 10010 errors with 11.4?

    For those that updated to Cat 11.4 could you check the event viewer's Administrative Events (type Event Viewer in Start's search box, click on it, let it load, then select Custom View then Admin. Events) to see if you are getting: DistributedCOM Event ID: 10010, E10F6C3A-F1AE-4ADC-AA9D-2FE6552566 errors? To check if you are continuing to get them pick a specific time to reboot and once back up to desktop check the event viewer again to see if the error pops up again at the time the PC shutdown.
