This usually happens if the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) or Windows Update service is turned off. It can also happen if other important services, like DCOM Server Process Launcher or COM+ Event System, are disabled. In this article, we will discuss different ways to solve this error.
1. Run SFC and DISM
Corrupted system files can quietly turn off important services like WMI or Windows Update, causing this error. Running SFC fixes these files, and DISM repairs missing or broken parts of Windows. These tools help make sure all needed services work correctly.
2. Repair Your Computer Using Installation or Recovery Media
If built-in tools don’t work, there may be more serious problems with startup services. Using installation or recovery media lets you try advanced fixes like Startup Repair, System Restore, or Command Prompt. These options can restore important service settings that can’t be fixed during a normal startup. By following these steps carefully, most users will be able to fix the System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMExceptions (0x80070422) error and get their Windows 10 system working normally again.
