Error "Failure for Remote Call Procedure" in Windows 10

Method 1: Checking the type of service

The most common reason for the appearance of the error under consideration is the incorrectly set option for running system services that are responsible for the remote challenge procedures. Check the desired options can be as follows:

1. Open the "Run" tool (combination Win + R), write in it the Services.msc command and click OK.



2. Find the following positions in the list of services:
   • "Remote Calling Procedures (RPC)";
   • "RPC endpoint comparable";
   • "DCOM server running module";
   • "Locator of the remote call procedures (RPC)".

   

   Double-click on recording to check the parameters. In the first three trigger type should be "automatically".

   

   The latter, on the contrary, "manually".



3. If the options for changing the start of the service are blocked (this is possible in some "dozens" editions), you will need to use the "Registry Editor" - Run it using the "Run" snap, Regedit request.



4. Open the directory at the following address:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CURRENTCONTROLSET \ SERVICES



5. Here we need several directories. First find Rpclocator and go to it.

   

   Double click on the left mouse button on the "Start" record and set it to "3".



6. In the same way, edit the same parameter in the DCOMLAUNCH, RPCEPTMAPPER and RPCSS directors, just this time set the value "2".



7. After making all changes, close all the windows and restart the computer.

This method is usually effective, and use another only if necessary.

Method 3: Troubleshooting System Programs (Run Graphic Files)

If the problem under consideration appears when you try to open images or PDF documents, it means registry damage. To eliminate their usual editing will not be released, so use the following recommendations:

1. First of all, you should try to run troubleshooting. Open the "Parameters" with the combination of Win + I and select "Update and Security".

   

   Click the Troubleshooting tab.

   

   In the list of funds, click LKM at the "Applications from the Windows Store" position, then click on the "Run troubleshooting tool" button.

   

   Carefully follow the instructions of the utility.



2. If the previous step has turned out to be inserted, you should reset the relevant program. To do this, in the same option "Parameters", select "Applications".

   

   In the list of the installed software, find the "Photos (Microsoft)" item, click on it and use the "Advanced Settings" button.

   

   Here, click "Reset".



3. You can use a more radical solution - reinstalling software by PowerShell. The tool must be launched on behalf of the administrator - by default, the corresponding item is available in the Start Context menu using Win + X combination.

   

   After starting, wait a few seconds until the snap is ready to work, then enter the following in it:

   Get-AppXPackage * Photos * | Foreach {Add-AppXPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$ ($ _. InstallLocation) \ APPXMANIFEST.XML"}

   Check the input correctness and press ENTER.

   

   Wait until the process is executed.
