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

@Dmitriy

Event Viewer Error Description:

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

{8D8F4F83-3594-4F07-8369-FC3C3CAE4919} and APPID {F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169}

to the user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID (S-1-5-18) 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.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Goal: Add the missing Local Activation permissions to the missing user
System via Component Services tool

CLSID: {8D8F4F83-3594-4F07-8369-FC3C3CAE4919}

APPID: {F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169}

User: SYSTEM

Application Name: {F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169}

Steps 3 – 11 are needed to change the current ownership of CLSID and APPID from System and TrustedInstaller respectively to Administrators and Administrators

• Open Regedit as Administrator
• Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > APPID > {F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169}
• Right-click on it and select "Permissions..."
• In the “Permissions for {F7267. . . “ dialog, click the "Advanced" button
• At the top, look for "Owner" and click the "Change" link near "TrustedInstaller" Note the current owner is “TrustedInstaller”
• In the Select User or Group dialog box type "Administrators" and click the "Check Names" link (it converts the name to the correct format)
• Select "Administrators" in the list and check the "Allow" checkbox for "Full Control"
• Click the “OK” button to return to the Regedit dialog
• Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > CLSID > {8D8F4F83-3594-4F07-8369-FC3C3CAE4919}
• Repeat steps 3 through 9 to change ownership of the CLSID from System to Administrators
• After completing the above steps you (as an Administrator) now have the ability to edit the permissions for these two keys
• Open Component Services (Start-search for, or run “dcomcnfg”)
• Browse to Console Root > Component Services > Computers > My Computer > DCOM Config
• Find "{F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169}" from the Application Name list – near the bottom, right-click on it and select "Properties"
• Navigate to the "Security" tab and click the "Edit" button in the "Launch and Activation Permissions" section. If the Edit button is grayed out, then review/redo steps 1 – 11.
• In the “Launch and Activation Permission” dialog add the missing user,
  System.
• Click the "Add" button
• Type in "SYSTEM", the User that does not have “Local Activation” permissions as per the Event ID 10016 Description from Event Viewer. Next click the "Check Names" button
• Click the "OK" button to return to the "Launch and Activation Permission" dialogue
• Select "SYSTEM" from the "Group or user names" list, and click to place a check in the "Local Activation"/"Allow" check box
• Click the "OK" button
• Back in the "Security" tab, click "OK", then close the Component Services tool
• Back in Regedit rework the previous steps to revert ownership of the APPID, {F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169} , to TrustedInstaller, and the CLSID, {8D8F4F83-3594-4F07-8369-FC3C3CAE4919}, to System
• You will be required to type "NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller" (without quotes) in the dialogue box mentioned above at step 6, and click the "OK" button
• Close all windows and exit Regedit
• Reboot

The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server

I too am having the error and my computer completely locks up and I have to do a hard shut down.

I have followed the steps from the suggestion however I keep getting another error saying I can not change the permissions. This issue has gone on long enough. It is 2017 now- plenty of people have had the same or very similar issues with Win10 we need a patch
or a true fix.
