I have been experiencing this issue for a couple of weeks now and I haven't managed to nail down the root cause yet.
What is happening:
- When trying to open strictly Windows-related features like services.msc, disk management, event viewer or edit group policy, I get the following Microsoft Management Console error. "Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.";
- IE 11 crashes as soon as I try to open it;
- If I try to download anything with Chrome, all files have their status set to "Failed - Blocked" after that the transfer is completed;
- When right-clicking on the Windows 10 update icon on the systray and selecting Get windows 10 no new window is displayed and an error message reading "The server {BEBA2AA5-B5A7-4DD3-9AD6-43B24CDD3B7D} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout." is logged by the event viewer (read notes).
What I have tried:
- I tried to edit the IRPStackSize (h**p://winhlp.com/node/40);
Notes:
- If I try to open any of the applications I have listed earlier right after I booted into Windows, they function correctly; they will start giving out that MMC error if I try to launch them about 10-15 seconds after windows has been accessed. The same happens for downloads in Chrome: if I am fast enough at the startup time, I can manage to download stuff otherwise they will fail with the "Failed - Blocked" error I mentioned before;
- Windows update works just fine;
- Running Windows 8.1;
- Got plenty of ram (8gb) and free hdd space.
Does anyone know how I could get rid of the MMC error message and restore those Windows 8.1 functionalities I am not able to regularly access any longer? Thank you.
