Windows 10: Unable to start a DCOM Server

Whenever I try to connect to an OMRON PLC via USB I get the following error appear in Event Viewer and I'm unable to connect to my PLC. I have two other devices that can connect without issue. I've tried completely removing and reinstalling the OMRON software so it doesn't seem to be that at fault.

Unable to start a DCOM Server

Windows jump lists and Cortana WinKey+C command are not working. The jump list issue is also documented in the Broken jump lists on Windows 10.

Searching through the Event Viewer, I found two errors.

For Jump lists (Event ID 10000):

For Cortana (Event ID 10001):

Manually running the commands fixes the issue until the next reboot. However, even when using a scheduled task, the commands cannot be run and fail with, presumably, the same error.

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

The only thing, of many that I've tried, that works (temporarily) is to do a Repair install of Windows or to update to a new version (I am currently running 1903). This works for a few days, and then gets broken again. I suspect that deploying a Microsoft Store app from Visual Studio is what breaks it, but I am not entirely sure.

From what I've read elsewhere, this might be some kind of a permissions problem.

I also get a warning on Event ID 10016:

I tried using the Component Services tool, but could not find anything with the given ID.
