Local Activation permission issue

Windows Server Windows update
1

I am kind of scared of updates at this point. After the newest update, my Win 10 decides to not work anymore and provides me with this error - The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {6B3B8D23-FA8D-40B9-8DBD-B950333E2C52}

What the heck is this now? I never got permission errors before so I have no idea how to approach this one. Can someone help me out?
