Windows 10: runtimebroker event id 10016 not fixing. & unexpected restarts mid game. How to fix these...

I built this pc in 2022 December, everything new since the beginning I have has that error code. I've have tried everything I can find on the web to fix this error from showing up. It isn't working I've tried adding permissions to the appid cslid registry and the component service, I've looked to see if I have com access permissions, I have deleted registry keys. I want to fix this error to rule out that this error isn't the one crashing and restarting my pc mid games because it been constantly there and its the only error I see before the unexpected crash on. I've seen this question but it wa

Event ID 10016, DistributedCOM Windows.SecurityCenter.WscBrokerManager

I don't think it's RuntimeBroker. Take a look at a recent one:

 

Event id 10016 runtime broker

This ClassID and AppID are for the RuntimeBroker which is used to manage Windows Store apps; specifically monitoring access to APIs and security checks. So ignoring this isn't necessarily the best thing to do.

I had another DCOM error related to the NVidia video card which was killing applications. That ClassID/AppID combination was used in the example to fix the issue here: Event ID 10016 - DistributedCOM

To fix this specific problem. Follow the same steps with one exception: instead of looking for the AppID in DCOM list, look for the application name (RuntimeBroker) directly, since it is there.

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
