The Remote Procedure Call Failed Windows 10
Aug 17, 2019 The Remote Procedure Call Failed error is one of the few mysterious errors in Windows 10 science to have a hard time solving. It may appear when a user tries to perform some basic things like opening standard tools and utilities. We ended up just enabling the Windows Photo Viewer app which came by default in Windows 7 and it works flawlessly. There is a more expansive post here at the Windows 10 forums, but here's the basics: Using notepad create an empty text document and save it as 'WindowsPhoto.reg' with 'all file types' selected when you save it.
Every time I try to open an image with the default Photos app in Windows 10, it shows a black window and after a few seconds I get this error:
- Dec 10, 2015 It appears that the latest Windows 10 build changes the Photo Viewer to another which causes the computer to throw this Remote procedure call failed. At first I thought that some malware had stopped the RPC Service from running however this was not the case.
- Dec 27, 2013 The Remote Procedure Call Failed. Press Windows Key + R combination, type put Regedt32.exe in Run dialog box and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor.
- Aug 02, 2019 QuyThieu Created on May 4, 2016 'The Remote procedure call failed' Windows 10. Original title: I can't get any of Window 10 apps work (default and downloaded from window store apps only) Press Windows Key + R on your keyboard Key in PowerShell and hit Enter.
Then the app closes and the image doesn't show up. If I open the Photos app directly, it just closes after a few seconds more, but no error is shown.
I have checked the RPC Services and its Status
is Running
and its Startup Type
set to Automatic
.
The RPC Locator is not running and its Startup Type
is set to Manual
.
I've tried to do a clean install of Windows again, and it worked the first time I opened the app. Once I closed it, after just downloading a few programs (but not installing any of them), it's not working, again.
The network was initially set to public, but changing it to private did not solve the problem.
The firewall has a few Inbound Rules for RPC, but none of them is enabled:
EDIT:
None of the proposed solutions worked for me. However, this was fixed some months after I posted the question by a Windows update.

Maybe you should try:
- Open Command prompt as administrator
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
sfc /scannow
powershell
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like '*SystemApps*'} Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register '$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml'}
Didn't work for me, but did for some..
ArjanIf you have an N or KN version installed you should try installing the Media Feature Pack for N and KN versions of Windows 10
VL-80I just encountered this error after an update. I worked around it by changing the default association to Windows Photo Viewer :
- Right click on the file and select properties
- In the general tab, click the Change.. button next to 'Opens with:'
- Select Windows Photo Viewer
- Click OK
I had this problem with (only) one account. This worked for me:
- Log the account out
- Log in as a different account which has Administrator rights
- Start a commander window (I use Altap Salamander) As Administrator
- Go to C:UsersTheBrokenAccountAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindows
- Completely remove several folders, like WebCache, Temporary Internet Files, INetCache, AppCache, including any system/hidden folders and junctions
- Log back in with the problem account
I guess it was a specific security settings problem and removing the folders made Windows recreate the correct properties.
Of course I take no responsibility for any damage this might cause to your system. :-)
A number of file associations did not work for me after the update. My solution was to associate the extension to another app and then back again. It looks like some registry mashup during upgrade.
Rohit GuptaRohit GuptaWe tried every solution to this problem including
- Verifying the proper services were running
- Re-installing the photos app and applying all Windows updates

- Put the following text into it and after saving, open the file. Once you do, you can set Windows Photo Viewer as the default.

I love to use Windows Store Apps in Windows 8. The reason? Simplicity and smartness! But it does happen that some times, when you try some new apps, you may face issues while using them. Today, in this article, we’ll tell you about an error faced by some while using these Windows Store Apps: The Remote Procedure Call Failed.
If you too are facing this issue, you should know that this happens due to an incorrect allocation of registry entries, which could probably have been tweaked by third-party apps. In addition to this, failure of Remote Procedure Call and Remote Procedure Call Locater services may also result in the same error. So you should firstly confirm that these services are functioning properly, by running services.msc, and then proceed with this registry tweak. I am sure that I don’t need to tell you to make a system restore point first, before touching the Windows Registry.
As you can see in the error dialog box, there is nothing to help us on this error; no error code or Help link. So prior to trying out the fix mentioned below, you should give the following a try: Updating / reinstalling /synching apps, disabling all third-party apps, switching to Microsoft account from local account and vice versa, resetting app cache, running Windows Apps Troubleshooter and running the System File Checker command. If nothing helps, follow the solution referenced from Technet forums:
The Remote Procedure Call Failed
1. Press Windows Key + R combination, type put Regedt32.exe in Run dialog box and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor.
2. Navigate to the following location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareClassesLocal SettingsSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionAppContainerStorage
3. In the left pane of this location, under the key Storage, scroll down and look for winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy subkey. This subkey is mandatory and should remain there, if you don’t find it, create one using right click on Storage key and select New key. Further create two subkeys of winstore_cw5n1h2txyewy using same way and name them Internet Settings and Software. Once you make assured everything exists, move to the next step.
4. Moving on, download the EXE version of SetACL from here. SetACL is an advanced Windows manipulation tool commonly used by IT specialists. The download link will yield it in .zip format which you have to unzip using a decompression software. Place the SetACL.exe file to C:WindowsSystem32 assuming C: is the system root drive.
Drivers who are 21-69 years of age receive a 6-year. driver license that expires on the applicant's date of birth in the sixth year after the date of issuance. Ages 70 and over Drivers who are ages 70 and over receive a 3-year. driver license that expires on the applicant's date. There are two guidelines to keep in mind regarding the grace period to renew a Missouri driver license after it has expired: The standard grace period to renew a Missouri driver license (without having to retest) is 6-months after the expiration date on the license. The expiration date of your Missouri drivers licenses will vary depending of your age. Three (3) year license duration - If you are between the ages of eighteen (18) and twenty (20). Six (6) year license duration- If you are between the ages of twenty one (21) and sixty nine (69). Missouri drivers license expiration date.
5. Finally run following command using administrative Command Prompt:
That’s it! Restart the machine to see the effects.
