Event 10016 continues even after typical fix - WMI DCOM error every 4 hours even after Local Activation permission added

Question

Monday, May 6, 2019 6:24 PM

Since upgrading two months ago from version 1709 to 1803, I get these error messages once every four hours even after fixing the error the usual way:

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{8BC3F05E-D86B-11D0-A075-00C04FB68820}
and APPID
{8BC3F05E-D86B-11D0-A075-00C04FB68820}
to the user DESKTOP-3*****N\My Name] SID (S-1-5-21-3591163430-416291016-3566129944-1001) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_10.0.17134.1_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h4txyewy SID (S-1-15-2-350187224-1905355452-1037786396-3028148496-2624191407-3283318427-1255436723). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

The AppID is for Windows Management and Instrumentation.

Using the old techniques, I added all of: myself, SYSTEM and LOCAL SERVICE to the DCOM - Security - Launch and Activation with all three of them checked for Local Launch and Local Activation, but the Error messages keep coming.

Why?  Is it because this is coming from "the application container Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_10.0.17134.1_neutral_neutral_cw5n1h4txyewy SID (S-1-15-2-350187224-1905355452-1037786396-3028148496-2624191407-3283318427-1255436723)", which I've never seen before?

By the way, I have run sfc /scannow and Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth many times, and I have also run five different very full anti-virus scans.  No help.

So - what do we do now?

Hello,

From https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/4022522/dcom-event-id-10016-is-logged-in-windows-10-windows-server, 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:

 Still happening on Win 10 Pro 1903 on a newish PC with 16GB RAM.

 And it repeats itself over and over in Event Viewer.

 Mine is either for

 CLSID {C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}
** and APPID {316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}**

  or

  CLSID  {2593F8B9-4EAF-457C-B68A-50F6B8EA6B54}
** and APPID  {15C20B67-12E7-4BB6-92BB-7AFF07997402}**

  Both repeat over and over.
