The Error
The registry key you describe is owned by the TrustedInstaller and other users are only given read permission. If you have feedback for TechNet Support, contact tnmff microsoft. When I arrived at your FINAL step, running Runtime Broker in ADMIN, I too was unable to make the suggested changes.
On our domain every computer that I have checked, which is about 20 computers thus far have this error with the same CLSID. Step 3 to 9 described the configuration for the CLSID ….
The Error - Click security tab then click Add User.
This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool. This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool. I a Ran into a lot of DCOM DistributedCOM errors on Windows 10 machines after upgrades. Looks like the TrustedInstaller from a previous application and the RunTime Broker did not give System and Local Administrators permission during a Windows 10 upgrade. It just an annoying thing but also slows down a windows 10 Login. This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool. Background It would appear that an Apple application was installed on these machines at some point and that it did not do a proper install. The W10 upgrade exacerbated the issue due to missing security accounts after a W10 upgrade. The fix is to give local administrators and System rights to the DCOM. To do this you have to modify premissions on two registry keys and then change the DCOM premissions. Pretty easy to do. FIX Regedit Take Ownership You will need to take ownership then set rights against two different keys. I did this as the computer knows which accounts have been removed. Summary At this point you should have sorted the DCOM errors. Give your computer a reboot and away you can go.

THAT ought to teach me … I beat it, alright… I beat it into the ground, along with multiple system services and processes. The audio being most noticeable. Add yourself with full control… but DO NOT remove other entries or change their permissions. I was never the type to resort to that so quickly… but this one might come down to that. Naturally, if I were slightly less amateur, I would have backed up the registry… exported the hive… SOMETHING. I remember this little tactic from quite a while back, but I seem to remember it works…? Does it have an entirely separate registry hive? Who wants to be Neo? The master browser is stopping or an election is being forced. I did so on computer XYZ. On the Win10 computer that is displaying error 8003, the registry hangs in the search and eventually stops responding! Good news 3E7371BC-5FA1-4B5D-8633-4C40F5C6A276 will be in your registry so you can look up what application is causing the lockout. Be aware that putting an object under you ownership will not break the app. Liked by Hi, I am experiencing this exact same error and other very similar errors under Win 10 Pro x64. The User is sometimes NTAuthority, as in your case, but often it is another user that is logged into the computer. Like An orphaned security token on install of what? On install of Windows, or on install of a store app? And is it also possible that this could happen with the install or non-store apps? Like mysql, mysql dump or even windows apps like. I had no problem taking ownership of the keys, but the buttons and edit boxes of the Security tab in RuntimeBroker Properties of DCOM Config are grayed out and inaccessible to me. Any ideas on how I can proceed? Liked by An account that is AN Administrator is not necessarily the same thing as THE Administrator account. You need to give the access rights to the AdminstratorS Group of which both you and the specially defined THE Administrator account are members. So, you need to assign right to Administrators, with an S on the end, not the Administrator, with no S. You successfully assigned right to a special windows account that you are not using… or, at least it sounds like tht is what you did based on the info provided. Reply to confirm this applied and was helpful. Liked by Oremac, all I Can suggest is automate installing Linux. I really like Windows 10 for a lot of reasons but it runs my surveillance system and when I was out of town it crashed and left me without a surveillance system until I got home. I wasnt reading ahead and thats something im working on. So my question is. Like Thank you a million times for this fix! It has been happening to me since the Windows 10 1607 update and only for one user of this PC. Very well explained and detailed …. Like Here is the game. Tracing what this event is generated from is difficult. If you can find the originator and it is able to be removed from ARP. Then by all means. However, if you are unable to find the source, uninstall it, or be sure it is no longer needed the security changes might be easier. This whole area needs more digging but my focus has been on other W10 issues recently. YOU WILL CAUSE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE TO YOUR WINDOWS INSTALLATION! I did this as the computer knows which accounts have been removed. They are perfectly valid. You can recognize them by their different icon. With the built-in ACL editor, there is apparently no way to edit an ACL that contains this kind of entry. Still, these are bad instructions and should not be followed. Second, some observations: 1. There is no need to have upgraded from anything or have installed any applications whatsoever. If the registry as shipped does not give that access to LocalService etc. Like Hi Christian, Very good point that this may be by design. However the irreperable damage claim is a bit extreme. Good tag line like 8 things to do to fix your W10, 7 will really suprise you. This error code can be completely ignored most of the time. However, would you agree that having entries that throw errors on purpose and are unowned by ACE is probably not best practice in a modern software lifecycle. What I am getting at it is.. You end up with a broken system that cannot load Edge or any Win 10 App. Even trying to reverse the instructions does not work as the damage has been done, presumably by other associated permissions getting screwed. There are loads more Dcom errors also, so the method is self defeating! Like I second that. The default launch permissions for RuntimeBroker, allow callback access for the interactive user. Note also that this solution will not restore permissions for the interactive user it will leave them untouched if present. Open a command prompt as TrustedInstaller you can use RunAsTI for that, see. DACL will be NULL if the descriptor includes callback access permissions. Make sure you are using the version that applies to your Operating System. Note: You will probably need quotes around the Local System there is a space A couple of thoughts: 1 Did you use an elevated command prompt I know but i have to ask. Why not try PowerShell. The Edit icon is grayed out. In fact all three Edit icons are grayed out on the security tab. I have Windows 10 Home Edition. It happens occasionally, sometimes repeatedly, and I lose control of my mouse, sometimes briefly, sometimes permanently requiring a reboot. My keyboard has not been affected at all. I did this first but still came up with the greyed out problem. I tried a suggestion from Vladimir Nikotin 23 Dec 2016 to access the RunTimeBroker from the middle panel but I still got the same problem, whichever panel I used. By the way, I got this Event Id 10016 three times in fairly quick succession today. One of them was different from the other two. The fact that I got two different versions of the error on the same day suggests that there may be many more yet to be encountered. Even if I overcome the greying out problem, do you think that this will mean that I shall have to go through all this again for future occurrences? It has not been causing me any obvious problem but probably nothing to do with this , my PC has been freezing quite often and I am trying to clear the decks for diagnosis of that problem. Buttons are Remove and Cancel. Suggestion on how to proceed? Liked by I have tried your fix and as soon as i get the file working i get another error with a different ID is there a way to track down the offending software to uninstall to reinstall??? I also went into Local User Groups and added myself, SELF and SYSTEM to the group Dist COM users so they would be allowed to launch, activate and use Distributed COM objects on this machine, but to no avail. Any ideas where to turn next? I have Windows 10 Home on my Acer laptop and have had these Distributed. Approximately 2 months ago my Motherboard collapsed and was changed. After that change I had severe difficulties in access to WiFi. I got the message that I needed to activate Windows in order to change settings on my PC. One of my errors was this 10016 as described here. S I went through the instructions. Thanks for your precise instructions. Like I had several issues with no rights granted to system and administrators. Solved problems like explained above. BUT: when I run Microsoft solitairecollection I still get the 1016 event. I was able to transfer the rights of the CLSID and the APPID, but I could not find the APPID or CLSID in the DCOMCNFG. Like Taking ownership of the registry keys is completely unnecessary if you open the Component Services tool with the user SYSTEM. This is possible by using a tool like PowerRun from sordum. Thorsten Like Great instructions. New installation of Server 2016, and got this Event ID 10016 as described in this post. First tried to add the System to the permission list — no go — still getting the event notification after boot. Then added my username I am in the administrators group to the permission list, and since this DCOM innerworking is way above me, I also added, for a good measure, my username to the permission list of the Access and Configuration Persission blocks. No more notifications after boot. Heeding the warning above by Christian Ullrich, I will keep an eye for any anomalous behavior and report it back here. Thank you for a well written set of instructions. I was able to follow them completely. One question though: Do you have any idea what Apple application is the problem? Thank you for the help. Like FROM: Cause These 10016 events are recorded when Microsoft components tries to access DCOM components without the required permissions. In this case, this is expected and by design. A coding pattern has been implemented where the code first tries to access the DCOM components with one set of parameters. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, it tries again with another set of parameters. The reason why it does not skip the first attempt is because there are scenarios where it can succeed. In those scenarios, that is preferable. CONCLUSION: Any issues you have are unlikely to be related to this error… look for something else to worry about!
Posted on Tuesday, December 19, 2006 5:47 AMHey Wilkin, The user account is the one you're actually seeing in the event log. Then choose the appropiate action. Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help, and unmark the answers if they provide no help. Click Apply and grant full control to Administrators. My APPID isn't listed in the DCOM Config. Or is there something else wrong. This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool. Click OK to confirm Step 15 Back in the Advance Security Settings window, click OK to confirm. Suffice to say, without it you can connect individually, or register another service with IIS. I did the following to solve this. This error repeats over and over. I did this first but still came up with the greyed out problem.
