My laptop (windows 11, dell g5500) keeps shutting down randomly because of the following error:
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

{6B3B8D23-FA8D-40B9-8DBD-B950333E2C52}

and APPID

{4839DDB7-58C2-48F5-8283-E1D1807D0D7D}

to the user NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE SID (S-1-5-19) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

How do i fix it?

    Hello,

    The issue you mentioned is regarding DCOM error 10016. From https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/troubleshoot/windows-client/application-management/event-10016-logged-when-accessing-dcom, Microsoft says:

    "These events can be safely ignored because they do not adversely affect functionality and are by design. This is the recommend action for these events."

    If you still like to fix, refer this guide:

    Hello Amber Dixit,

    The error you’re encountering is related to the permissions of the DCOM component. This issue can occur when a specific process doesn’t have enough permissions to access the DCOM components that are indicated in the event log. Here’s how you can fix it:

     

    Press Windows + R keys to open the Run prompt. Type in Regedit and press Enter.

    Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID{6B3B8D23-FA8D-40B9-8DBD-B950333E2C52}.

    Right-click on it then select Permission.

    Click on Advanced and then change the owner to the Administrators group.

    Press Windows + R to open the Run prompt. Type in dcomcnfg.exe and press Enter.

    Expand the following options Component Services > Computers > My Computer > DCOM Config.

    In the right pane, right-click on the RunTime Broker option and select the Properties button from the list.

     

    If the error persists, it might be worth checking if you have the “Microsoft Vulnerable Driver Blocklist” enabled in Device Security -> Core Isolation, as you also have to provide the CI Policies for it.

     

    Best Regards,

    Wesley Li
