Windows 10: Event ID 16394 and 16384 getting spammed repeatedly in Event Viewer causing micro freezes.

The problem: The 2 event ids mentioned above keep appearing every 30 minutes or so sometimes causing micro freezes locking up the computer for 1-2s. I've tried basically every solution under the sun and I'm frankly out of ideas. The description of ID 16394 and 16384 are the following: Offline downlevel migration succeeded. and Successfully scheduled Software Protection service for re-start at 2124-01-20T19:07:44Z. Reason: RulesEngine. This is a home computer. My build: CPU: IntelR CoreTM i7-10700KMotherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX

Reason: RulesEngine. This is a home computer.

My build: CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700K
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-E GAMING
Ram: Kingston KF3600C18D4/16GX x 2
SSD/HDD: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1 TB, Kingston SV200S3128G, WDC WD20EZBX-22AYRA0
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6GB
OS: Windows 10 Home Version 22H2
BIOS version: 0403

What I've tried so far:

1. Updating Drivers
   
2. Updating Windows
   
3. Disabling Windows Firewall
   
4. Disabling Windows Defender (its already disabled due to me using ESET NOD32)
   
5. Bought new ram sticks (because I initially thought this was a RAM issue)
   
6. Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth and SFC /scannow in powershell
   
7. Tested all drives I have with their manufacturers' tools.
   
8. Restarted the Software Protection Service
   
9. Made sure that the Task Scheduler is running
   
10. Made sure that the Software Protection service is running under the Network Service
    
11. Made sure that Network Service has read permission in the windows folder for the Software Protection service.
    
12. Reset windows while choosing not to keep my files, basically wiping my windows.
    
13. Doing steps 1-4, 6-12 again.
    
14. Turned off system restore on all drives.
    

At this point I'm out of ideas other than maybe try updating my BIOS. Would appreciate any advice on how to proceed further.

 

Event viewer error with event id 10016

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community forum.

I understand that you are getting an error “DistributedCOM 10016” in the event viewer logs.

• Do you face any issues on the computer?
  
• Have you made any recent changes to the computer?

This problem may occur if either of the following conditions is true:

• A program with the class ID (CLSID) that appears in the message tries to start the COM component by using the DCOM infrastructure. However, the user does not have the required permissions to start the COM component.

• The Network Service account does not have the correct permissions.

Event logs are special files that record significant events on your computer, such as when a user logs on to the computer or when a program encounters an error. Whenever these types of events occur, Windows records the event in
an event log that you can read by using Event Viewer. Advanced users might find the details in event logs helpful when troubleshooting problems with Windows and other programs.

If you do not have any issues with app or any other program I would suggest you to ignore it.

Keep us posted if you face any issues related to Windows in future. We will be glad to help you.

 

Event Viewer freezes

Hi,

After upgrade from 1909 to 2004 and after displaying properties of a single event the event viewer freezes.

I can use the up/down arrows while an event property is open but as soon as I close the event property

there is no way to select anything within the event viewer anymore - Have to kill mmc via task manager and

re-open eventvwr again. Same happens with task scheduler but not with services!

Funny enough if I use an other user account on this machine then there is no problem at all.

SFC /SCANNOW did not report any error

Any hint most welcome - thanks

Viktor
