call failed error. It is an annoying error that hinders users from using

files might be as a result of installing third party applications. There are
many methods of carrying out PC

what Remote Procedure Call is and its importance to the computer.
Remote Procedures Call
Some computer geeks call it the RPC server that is similar
to what you are calling it. A remote procedure is a sequence of instructions
which is present outside the current program (or in a remote program). The
current program will send a message to the remote program so as to execute any
instructions. If the remote program doesn’t exist or is not running, the
message is not understood. Hence, the instructions don't get executed. It is
what causes the RemoteProcedure call failed error. For example, if the remote program is a
duplicate of the explorer.exe which is hung up, busy or terminated, this error
is bound to occur.
