The starting point is to discover what is causing the error.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

What are you/the system doing when the error occurs?

Look in Reliability History and Event Viewer for more details about the event and when it is happening.

More information needed. Details matter.

I would ignore this error or disable the log. It appears it is by design where they attempt to access DCOM with lower permissions first than and get a error then try at 2 more higher permission levels.

guess you would have to turn off the dcom event logging to stop this error logging. I have cleaned up these logging errors before but they just come back after various updates. Now i just ignore them

Almost every Windows PC gets DCOM errors. They not the cause of problems for the PC. Just windows database errors.

Event ID 10016 is a common error in Windows that relates to DistributedCOM (DCOM) permissions. While these errors are generally harmless and don't affect system performance, they can clutter your Event Viewer. If you prefer a clean Event Viewer, you can follow these steps to resolve the issue:

1. Identify the CLSID and APPID
Open Event Viewer:

Press Win + R, type eventvwr, and press Enter.

Navigate to the Error:

Go to Windows Logs > System.

Look for the Event ID 10016 error and note down the CLSID and APPID mentioned in the error description.

2. Modify Registry Permissions
Open Registry Editor:

Press Win + R, type regedit, and press Enter.

Navigate to the CLSID Key:

Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{CLSID} (replace {CLSID} with the actual CLSID from the error).

Change Permissions:

Right-click on the CLSID key and select Permissions.

Click Advanced and change the owner to Administrators.

Grant Full Control to the Administrators group.

Repeat for APPID:

Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\{APPID} (replace {APPID} with the actual APPID from the error).

Change permissions as described above.

3. Modify DCOM Configurations
Open Component Services:

Press Win + R, type dcomcnfg, and press Enter.

Navigate to DCOM Config:

Expand Component Services > Computers > My Computer > DCOM Config.

Find the Application:

Locate the application using the APPID from the error.

Modify Permissions:

Right-click on the application and select Properties.

Go to the Security tab.

Under Launch and Activation Permissions, click Edit.

Add the user mentioned in the error (e.g., NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM) and grant Local Activation permission.

4. Restart Your Computer
After making these changes, restart your computer to apply the new settings.
