      Hi Troy, unfortunately the "Event ID 10000" is a COM General Functionality failure, usually this means that there is a problem with the COM service. However, in this cases, there is not enough information available in the event message to provide a definitive recommendation to resolve the problem, this will need some more deep dive troubleshoot, and for that we will need more info.
