Cant open pictures. Remote procedure call failed
Hello community,
I have a really frustrating problem with Windows 10 N (fresh installation, no upgrade from 7) and I'd really appreciate your help!
I'm getting this error:
... when I try to open any picture (jpeg, gif).
I have followed different forum topics for solutions and so far I:
- Double checked that RPC service is running & on automatic. RPC Locator is not started & on manual
- Previously had some issues with opencl.dll being corrupted, but following Kyhi's suggestions here:
Error DISM restorehealth - Windows 10 Forums
.. I managed to fix it (as you can see from the screenshot, the sfc shows no errors anymore)
In the event viewer I get these:
Activation of app Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App failed with error: The remote procedure call failed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.
ActivateApplicationForContractByAcidAsUserWithHost of the app Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App for the Windows.File contract failed with The remote procedure call failed..
Activation of the app Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App for the Windows.File contract failed with error: The remote procedure call failed..
Activation via contract helper of the app Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App for the Windows.File contract failed with The remote procedure call failed..
... when I try to open a jpeg file.
Any help will be much appreciated!
Best regards,
Marin
