The Detect application failures caused by deprecated COM objects machine setting should be configured correctly.
This policy setting determines whether the Program Compatibility Assistant (PCA) will diagnose DLL load or COM object creation failures in programs. If you enable this policy setting, the PCA detects programs trying to create legacy COM objects that are removed in this version of Windows. When this failure is detected, after the program is terminated, PCA will notify the user about this problem and provide an option to check the Microsoft Web site for solutions. If you disable this policy setting, the PCA does not detect programs trying to create legacy COM objects. If you do not configure this policy setting, the PCA detects programs trying to create legacy COM objects.
Fix:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Troubleshooting and Diagnostics\Application Compatibility Diagnostics\Detect application failures caused by deprecated COM objects
(2) KEY: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WDI\{88D69CE1-577A-4dd9-87AE-AD36D3CD9643}\ScenarioExecutionEnabled
