I checked my event viewer, and found this:

The searches I've done on this bring up symptoms different from mine, so not sure I should follow them.

contant short freezes on tablet

Hi Nedim,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are in a frustrating situation, because programs hangs and freezes on tablet.

I'd certainly help you, to resolve the issue.

Please answer the query, mentioned below, for a better understanding of your issue:

• Do you receive any error code or error message?
• Have you made any changes to your system, prior to this issue?

The first step is to identify the category of issue you are facing. We will define four categories of behavior for PCs that become unresponsive, as follows:

1. Hang: Your PC becomes unresponsive whenever you do a specific set of steps, and you must restart to recover the PC.

2. Random Hang: Your PC becomes unresponsive seemingly at random, and you must restart to recover the PC.

3. Generic Freeze: Your PC becomes unresponsive for a period of time, and then becomes usable again without taking any action. You don't need to restart your PC for it to be usable again. This behavior seems to affect all apps.

4. Single-app Freeze: Your PC exhibits the same behavior as a Generic Freeze, except that it only occurs when running a specific app, such as when playing a game or browsing websites.

For further assistance and more information, I would suggest you to refer to the following Microsoft article and check, if it helps.

DistributedCOM error 10016 PC crashing / freezing (no blue screen)

Hi,

DistributedCOM error 10016 is an event in Event Viewer that usually occurs when
Microsoft components tries to access DCOM components without the required permissions. This event is not usually the cause of the PC crashing / freezing error. The performance error that you're experiencing can be the cause of a third
party service. Kindly perform a clean boot to see if the computer will crash / freeze while the third party
services are disabled.

Let us know how it goes.
