Windows 10: laptop lockup might be Dcom event 10016

Dell laptop model 7368 running Win 10 Pro version 1803 randomly freezes. It appears from the event viewer it is always preceded by a few Dcom 10016 errors shown below:



The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

{D63B10C5-BB46-4990-A94F-E40B9D520160}

and APPID

{9CA88EE3-ACB7-47C8-AFC4-AB702511C276}

to the user DEB-DELL\Deb SID (S-1-5-21-2618158034-1818882461-890489293-1001) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

I've tried a few suggestions I've found on the web but some steps I'm not understanding. such as step 14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Open Regedit.
2. Go to HKEY_Classes_Root\CLSID\*CLSID*.
Note: *CLSID* stand for the ID that appears in your event viewer error. In your case, it's {C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}.
3. Right click on it then select permission.
4. Click Advance and change the owner to administrators. Also click the box that will appear below the owner line.
5. Apply full control.
6. Close the tab then go to HKEY_LocalMachine\Software\Classes\AppID\*APPID*.
Note: *AppID* is the ID that appears in your event viewer. In your case it's {316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}.
7. Right click on it then select permission.
8. Click Advance and change the owner to administrators.
9. Click the box that will appear below the owner line.
10. Click Apply and grant full control to Administrators.
11. Close all tabs and go to Administrative tool.
12. Open component services.
13. Click Computer, click my computer, then click DCOM.
14. Look for the corresponding service that appears on the error viewer.
15. Right click on it then click properties.
16. Click security tab then click Add User. Add SYSTEM then apply.
17. Tick the Activate local box.


step 14 what corresponding service ??? I'm lost it this point.

DCOM event ID 10016 logged in Windows

Hi Chris,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



The 10016 events are triggered when a Microsoft component tries to access DCOM components without having permissions to access them.



These events can be safely ignored, they do not have any adverse effect on the functionality of your computer.

To get more information about this event ID, please refer to the article:

Hope it helps.
