The DistributedCOM Error 10016 is a common Windows issue found on almost every Windows
version since Windows XP. The error doesn't immediately crash your system. You won't suffer a
sudden blue screen of death. In fact, the DCOM Error 10016 is benign.
However, that doesn't mean you can't fix it. So, here's how to fix the DistributedCOM Error
10016 on your Windows 10 system.

First up, what is DistributedCOM, and why is it showing an error?
The Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) is an integral aspect of networked
communication on Windows computers. Its a proprietary Microsoft technology which whirs
into action every time an application makes a connection to the internet. A traditional COM can
only access information on the same machine, whereas DCOM can access data on remote
servers.
For example, many websites and services use scripts that access a remote server. When your
system makes a request using a script or otherwise, DCOM forwards the request to the specific
script object. Given how frequently modern applications use a network connection and our
general use of computers, you can see how frequently DCOM comes into use.
ADCOM error usually occurs when an application or service attempts to use DCOM but does
not have the proper permissions. Most of the time, DCOM errors won't affect your system,
other than clogging up your Event Viewer. Given most Windows 10 users do not check the
Event Viewer regularly, DCOM errors are nothing to worry about. Stil, an error-free system is
better than the alternative.
With that in mind, here is one easy method for fixing DCOM Error 10016, and one slightly more
long-winded fix.
1. Edit The Windows Registry To Fix DCOM Error
10016
The first port of call is the Windows Registry. A simple registry tweak can sometimes fix the
DCOM Error 10016 immediately.
What Is the Windows Registry and How Do | Edit It?
If you need to edit the Windows registry, making a few quick changes is easy. Let's learn how to work
with the regi
Before editing the registry, | recommend taking a backup.
Type registry in your Start Menu search bar and select the Best Match. Head to File > Export,

you have several individual applications all providing DCOM errors, the following process will
take some time as you have to repeat the majority of it for each error.
The DCOM Error 10016 error message in the Event Viewer contains information regarding the
specific application or process creating the issue.
Input event viewer in your Start Menu search bar and select the Best Match.

the error message to expand it.
The General tab explains the reason for 10016 error, listing the CLSID (Class ID) and APPID
(Application ID). The CLSID and APPID character strings look random. However, you can use
them to identify which application or service is the route of the 10016 error.

DCOM Error 10016 Solved
Hopefully, that has alleviated your Distributed COM 10016 error. | must emphasize that a DCOM
10016 error is highly unlikely to affect your system performance. In the very old days, when
Microsoft first introduced "Distributed" to the Component Object Model, there were
vulnerabilities. However, these vulnerabilities have been patched and DCOM is safe now.
Of course, DCOM error 10016 is far from the only error Windows 10 throws up. If you have a
different issue, here are fixes for the most common Windows errors.
