Windows Event Viewer - Event ID 10016
SUMMARY
On a Windows 10, I found the following error within the Event Viewer. The RuntimeBroker is related to Metro Apps.
PROBLEM
Event Viewer Error:
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {D63B10C5-BB46-4990-A94F-E40B9D520160} and APPID {9CA88EE3-ACB7-47C8-AFC4-AB702511C276} 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.
SOLUTION
Open REGEDIT
Go to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\{APPID}
Make note of the Applications name (e.g. RuntimeBroker)
Right click and select ‘Permissions’
Click the ‘Advanced’ button
Change the Owner to ‘Administrators’
Change the ‘Administrators’ permission to ‘Full Control’
Click OK to close.
Next run ‘Component Services’ (or dcomcnfg.exe) as Administrator
Navigate to the following: Component Services->Computers->My Computer->DCOM Config->”app name” (e.g. RuntimeBroker)
Right click on the “app name” and select ‘Properties’
Select ‘Security’ tab
Within the ‘Launch and Activation Permissions’ section, select ‘Customize’ and then ‘Edit’.
Add ‘SYSTEM’ to permissions
Set ‘SYSTEM’ permission as ‘Local Launch’ = ‘Allow’
Click OK to close.
Restart PC
