  2. Windows 10 - remote procedure call failed

    Hello Sasamaka,

    We appreciate the time and effort you have put in to resolve the issue. Let me assist you with further information from here.

    As an initial recommendation, I suggest you to check for the latest updates in Windows 10 which helps the PC to make optimal use of Windows 10 capabilities as well as fixing any missing links in performance of the operating system.

    Ref: Announcing
    Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14251


    Windows 10 periodically checks for updates so you don’t have to. When an update is available, it’s automatically downloaded and installed – keeping your PC up to date with the latest features.

    To check for updates now, go to Settings > Update & security > Windows Update, and select
    Check for updates. If Windows Update says that your PC is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available.

    If the issue still persists, I suggest you to follow the below suggested methods and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    Method 1

    Check the status of Remote Procedure Call locator service. Make sure the Remote Procedure Call status is Started and set to Automatic. RPC Locator should be set to Manual.

    • Follow the below steps:
    1. Click Start and type services.msc in the search box.

    2. Search for the Remote Procedure Call locator service.

    • Make sure the start- up type is manual. Follow the below steps:
    1. Search for the service.

    2. Right click on the service.

    3. If the service is stopped then start the service.

    4. Select Properties.

    5. And in the Start-up type select Manual.

    Method 2

    Check if the same issue occur when logged in through a different user account.

    Follow the steps:


    • In the search box on the taskbar, type
      settings and select Settings.

    • Select Accounts > Other user accounts.

    • Under Manage other accounts, select
      Add an account.

    • At the bottom of the page, select
      Sign in without a Microsoft account.

    • Select Local account.

    • Enter a name for the new account. If you want this person to sign in with a password, enter and verify the password, add a password hint, and then select
      Next.

    • Select Finish.

    I suggest you to create another administrator user account by referring to

    Set up accounts
    on Windows 10 article.

    Write to us with the updated status. If the issue still persists, we would be happy to help you further.

    Thank you.
     
  3. The remote procedure call failed

    Hi Ephraim,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.


    • When do you get this error message?
    The "Remote procedure call" error might be displayed when a service called upon by Windows is not responding. Do you get the error message even after you restart the PC, I would recommend you to boot the computer in Safe mode and check if the issue
    persists.

    You can follow the steps suggested in this article to boot the computer in Safe mode:

    Windows Startup Settings - Microsoft Support

    Hope this information is helpful.

    The Remote procedure call failed when using Photo viewer on windows 10

    Hi,

    Thanks for posting your query to Microsoft forum. I will certainly help you with this.

    I would suggest you to check the status of Remote Procedure Call locator
    service. Make sure the Remote Procedure Call status is Started and set to Automatic. RPC Locator should be set to Manual.

    Method 1:

    Follow the below steps for the same:

    • Click Start and type services.msc in the search box
    • Search for the Remote Procedure Call locator service
    • Make sure the start- up type is manual. Steps to set the services to automatic
    • Search for the service
    • Right click on the service
    • If the service is stopped then Start the service
    • Select Properties
    • And in the Start-up type select Manual

    Method 2: Perform SFC scan

    I would suggest you to performSFC scan and check if that helps. The
    sfc/scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions. It is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted
    files.

    Refer the link: Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

    Refer to Windows 8.1 steps, as they are applicable to Windows 10.

    Please reply us with these information and the current status of your computer we will be happy to assist you further.
