I've been encountering a recurring error in the Event Viewer on my Windows 11 system, specifically a DistributedCOM error with the ID 10010. This error seems to occur randomly and doesn't correspond with any specific user actions or software installations. The description typically states that "The server {GUID} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout."
From what I understand, this involves issues where certain processes or services fail to communicate properly over the DCOM (Distributed Component Object Model) network protocol. However, despite various attempts to resolve this issue, including adjusting component services settings and ensuring correct permissions, the problem persists.
Has anyone else faced similar issues on Windows 11? If so, how were you able to diagnose effectively and resolve these DistributedCOM errors? Any specific tools or methods that helped clarify which service or application corresponds to the problematic GUID would be particularly helpful. Additionally, if there are preventative measures to avoid such errors in future setups, it would be grand to learn more about those too.
