How To Fix DistributedCOM ShellServiceHost Errors [Tutorial]
How to fix Event ID: 10016 DistributedCOM "ShellServiceHost" errors.
Microsoft uses the Distributed Component Object Model as a method to allow client-side (or local) applications to transmit and request data on a server. It is an integrated part of Windows, and is used by most Windows applications that connect to a network, including the Internet. It's used to perform silent authentications (sending login credentials with cached information) and to get live data updates for things like stock tickers and push notifications on applications. A large number of DCOM errors are the result of out-of-date login credentials, which return a "connection timed out" error message -- or, if no error message shows up, a browser or other networked application giving an "unable to load content" message.
