Windows 10: Store apps close immediately, Event 10010 with DistributedCOM

Good evening,

I've started experiencing this error a few days ago (2-3 days). Every store app I open it closes immediately.
The Calendar, Calculator, even Windows Store itself.

The Event log shows the following for the Calendar:

The server microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_16005.10325.20117.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe!microsoft.windowslive.cal endar did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

Code: - <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event"> - <System> <Provider Name="Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCOM" Guid="{1B562E86-B7AA-4131-BADC-B6F3A001407E}" EventSourceName="DCOM" /> <EventID Qualifiers="0">10010</EventID> <Version>0</Version> <Level>2</Level> <Task>0</Task> <Opcode>0</Opcode> <Keywords>0x8080000000000000</Keywords> <TimeCreated SystemTime="2018-08-24T16:12:22.883430700Z" /> <EventRecordID>4399</EventRecordID> <Correlation /> <Execution ProcessID="1200" ThreadID="1692" /> <Channel>System</Channel> <Computer>dds-pc</Computer> <Security UserID="S-1-5-21-3719735908-2873583860-3702955915-1001" /> </System> - <EventData> <Data Name="param1">microsoft.windowscommunicationsapps_16005.10325.20117.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe!microsoft.windowslive.calendar</Data> </EventData> </Event>[/quote] For Windows Store is similar:

The server Microsoft.WindowsStore_11807.1001.13.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe!App did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

So far I'm not the only one affected, there are other 2 co-workers with same issue that have been confirmed.

What I've done?

Basically followed what it was suggested here:
Fix: The server did not register with DCOM within the required timeout - Appuals.com

The only method I couldn't complete was the 3rd one (fixing the windows store certificate), whenever I execute the Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter is asking me to sign up with a Microsoft account which I haven't setup, trying to add an account doesn't work since it tries to open the Windows Store app and you can see it closing immediately.

I'm now feeling a bit frustrated since I'm not able to view my calendar events, my email, etc.
So I really appreciate if anyone can throw some light on where to look at.

Thanks in advance!

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.

Hello again..

It is unbelievable what is happening to me *Sad *Sad

I have followed the procedure described in post #90 of this thread, step-by-step!! And... after rebooting a couple of times the same error appears again!! See Event Viewer screenshot of my post #232.

Can anyone, please, tell me what am I doing wrong?!

 

Event 10016, DistributedCOM


Hi,

What implications would that be ?
It's easy enough to fix if you follow the steps correctly:

No need to wait and hold your breath. MS can't be bothered with errors that appear to be random or caused by third party software really.
