Hi, I am not sure which service you have revived, please try to check the following service and restart them again. Remote Procedure Call Remote Procedure Call locator Remote Registry RPC endpoint mapper Windows management instrumentation Windows remote management. Re-installing the photos app and applying all Windows updates; 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. Activation of the app Microsoft.Windows.Photos8wekyb3d8bbwe!App for the Windows.File contract failed with error: The remote procedure call failed.

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:
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
. Transformers prime games free. 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..

If you have an N or KN version installed you should try installing the Media Feature Pack for N and KN versions of Windows 10

I 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. :-)

How To Fix Remote Procedure Call Failed
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.

We tried every solution to this problem including
- Verifying the proper services were running
- Re-installing the photos app and applying all Windows updates
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
- Put the following text into it and after saving, open the file. Once you do, you can set Windows Photo Viewer as the default.
