HP Recommended
Product: Probook 445 G6
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Western Digital Backup application cannot locate my external drive because it cannot access COM+ applications under component services. The link to the support article is https://support-en.wd.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/27461/kw/WD%20backup%20no%20target%20found. 

 

When I try to open COM+Applications I get a Catalog Error 80040154 Class not Registered. Screenshot (3).png

 

There was another user who had the same problem and he fixed it by "Edit Registry and set [ COM+ Enabled = 1 ] in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Microsoft\COM3" @Banhien. However when I did this it did not fix it.  Please help!!!
