(Solved)Windows Credential manager doesn't work, error code 0x800706BA

(1/2) > >>

Recently, I have been getting the Error Code 0x800706BA when trying to open the credential manager on Windows 8.1. It says that the RPC service is unavailable. But, I know for a fact that this service is enabled. Anyone know of a way to fix this problem? I'm Running 64 bit Windows 8.1.

Boggin:
From a Google, this appears to be a Windows Firewall problem and there's a suggested fix for Win 8/81 in this article https://support.software.dell.com/enterprise-reporter-for-active-directory/kb/116792

Thanks for the response! I really appreciate any help that I can get. However, the fix suggested did not resolve this issue.

Here's some additional information: I'm not using the Windows Firewall, I have it disabled for both private and public networks. I'm using the Avast Internet Security suite, which has rules for Microsoft and it's components.

Boggin:
It could equally apply to Avast's firewall.

See if you get the same error in Safe Mode with Networking - 3rd party security programs are isolated in that mode, which is safer than trying it with Avast disabled.

I'm not sure how you use the restore points in Win 8.1 but going back to prior the error could pre-date an Avast Definitions update, as it won't be the first time a security program's updates have caused problems.

I resolved this issue by refreshing my Windows 8.1 machine. I guess sometimes you can't fix all of windows bugs, rather than reinstalling Windows, a refresh is a good compromise.
