I have for days unsuccessfully tried to troubleshoot the RPC server is unavailable error on my PC running Windows 10 education (64 bit) which started appearing a couple of days ago:



enter image description hereenter image description here



I have tried an upgrade reinstall (repair) of Windows hoping it would fix the issue but it didn't. Furthermore I have also tried doing the following:




  • Restarting Remote Procedure Call service, Windows Defender,DCOM Server Process launcher services but nothing has helped.

  • Repairing component store (DISM tool)

  • Scanning system file (SFC)

  • Clean boot

  • Adding firewall exception to remote services

  • Checked online for solutions but still can't fix the issue.


Is there something I have to do the fix this error and get Windows Defender running (short of clean installing for now)?

          Try this:




          • Logon as administrator

          • In Administration Tools > Services, ensure that the following services
            all have the Status of "Running" and their Startup type is "Automatic".

          • Start Windows Defender Firewall > Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall

          • Find "Remote Assistance" in the list and ensure that it is allowed
            for both "Private" and "Public".

          • Click OK.
