DCOM errors when upgrading to Windows 8.1

DCOM error:

The machine-default permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}
and APPID
{316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}
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.

The server {1B1F472E-3221-4826-97DB-2C2324D389AE} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

The server {BF6C1E47-86EC-4194-9CE5-13C15DCB2001} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

What could be causing this? Under Windows 8 it was fine. This happens every time I restart the computer and when automatic maintenance runs.

The first event is linked to the Immersive Shell, i.e. the ''Modern'' start screen. I see that myself, and I haven't found a cause yet. I'll keep looking.

Well I guess at least I'm not the only one.

Just FYI -
Unless there's a problem that I can't solve - I ignore the DCOM errors/warnings

I get the DCOM error with the Immersive Shell when using startisback, start8 doesn't give me this error. However I don't see any misbehavior so I just ignore this error.

Seems an error related also to Bing Weather.

Interesting since I'm using Start8 as well and getting the error.

No start8 here, and I get that error. I hereby solemnly proclaim start8 innocent of this crime against Immersive Shell..

i have these as well what are they

I also have a fresh installation of Windows 8.1 on another partition and don't get this or other errors. I believe that the update process from 8 to 8.1 is full of bugs. I also had to reinstall many applications and two of them now are always crashing, but they work on the other installation.

Yep, this is why today I'm taking the plunge. Reformat and fresh install Windows 8.1. My whole computer screwed up from upgrading to Windows 8 to 8.1.

Hi
I did a clean install of 8.1 but been plagued with the same DCOM Event Errors,{1B1F472E-3221-4826-97DB-2C2324D389AE}and {BF6C1E47-86EC-4194-9CE5-13C15DCB2001} I did find is that every time Windows Defender runs a scan on its own im getting the errors, if you compare the time on the error and the time last run on Windows Defender they are always the same, there is no error if I do a manual scan.
I want to turn off the auto scan and prefer to do manual scans don't have a clue how to make the change.

I agree. I don't have Start 8, did a clean install and don't find it related to defender. Each time I use Weather I get this. I tried fiddling with the DCOM permissions for Immersive Shell but can't get rid of it. It has been there since the preview. Having said that it doesn't seem to actually cause any problem other than the error message appearing.

I had the issue with Bing Weather but it was a different Event Error if I recall it was 10016 and there was like a half dozen at a time, I deleted it don't ever use it.
The Event Error in question is #10010 which seems {1B1F472E-3221-4826-97DB-2C2324D389AE}and {BF6C1E47-86EC-4194-9CE5-13C15DCB2001}that is the most common that everyone seems to be having.
As I said with Windows Defender I checked the past 3 days all were at the same time as the Event Error and when windows defender ran, I haven't seen any problems other then the entry in Events so it is probably cosmetic, just annoying to see.

I did a fresh install of Windows 8.1 and I'm getting the same error DCOM errors. I read on another board it might have to do with skydrive. I noticed the DCOM errors happen right upon rebooting and doing automatic maintenance.

I did a fresh install of Windows 8.1 and I'm getting the same error DCOM errors. I read on another board it might have to do with skydrive and using a local account instead of a Microsoft account. I don't use neither of them. I noticed the DCOM errors happen right upon rebooting and doing automatic maintenance. I would presume some task is trying to run and since I don't use skydrive or a microsoft account it's throwing back the DCOM error?

Those who are getting the errors are you using a Microsoft account instead of a local account?

That is probably a wise decision. Otherwise, it will drive you crazy trying to chase all of them down....think I will adopt your philosophy, usasma!

I am using Microsoft Account and getting them. I uninstalled Bing Weather and they subsided, however I think SkyDrive, Windows Defender, and Automatic Maintenance may have something to do with my DCOM errors.....but I don't have the slightest idea how to stop the errors. Just ignore them, I guess.

Go into Task Schedule and disable Skydrive. So far I haven't had any errors. Nothing last night or today.

Thanks, wildhope - done that.....probably helped some, but not all.

If Windows works and does not do strange (!) things, I would agree about ignoring this errors, it will drive us sooner or later paranoic. It is a fact that Windows 8.1 still has a lot of issues waiting to be fixed.
