dcom error 10016 re APPID F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169
I wanted to start a new thread here although there are many others, the solutions don't work as they depend on changing permissions wherein this case the system won't permit this.
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {8D8F4F83-3594-4F07-8369-FC3C3CAE4919} and APPID {F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169} to the user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID (S-1-5-18) 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.
All the suggestions I have seen recommend changing the owner to "administrators" and then amending the permissions, or in some cases removing the item altogether. However in this case (and others I have read) we are unable to amend, as the change is rejected.
When I search the registry, hlm\software\classes\appid\F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169, the owner is listed as"all application packages" with only read permission. If I change the owner to administrators, I am given the option of ticking full control, but when I do so and tick "apply", I get "unable to save permissions changes on F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169 access denied". The same occurs if I attempt to delete the key.
Lastly I am unable to find any Appid such as "runTimeBroker" with the key of F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169.
As an aside I am trying to fix all Event errors as we have had so many probs (including over 900 event errors) since we upgraded from win7 to 10 - this hopefully is the last unresolved item, but time will tell!
