on your Windows 10/8/7 operating system if you receive an error message : The exe or COM substitute program no longer works. A problem has caused the program to malfunction. Windows will close the program and notify you when a solution is available, so here are some troubleshooting steps I would suggest to fix such bugs.

What is COM Surrogate

The process dllhost.exe is named COM Surrogate. It is located in the System 32

folder Microsoft says,

COM Surrogate is the sacrificial process for a COM object running outside the process that requested it. The explorer uses the COM substitute, for example when extracting thumbnails. When you switch to a folder with the thumbnails enabled, the Tag Browser launches a COM substitute and uses it to calculate the thumbnails of the documents in the folder. It does so because Explorer has learned not to trust thumbnail extractors; they have a poor stability record. Explorer decided to absorb the performance losses in exchange for improved reliability, which led to the removal of these questionable code bits from the main process of the Explorer. If the thumbnail extractor crashes, the crash destroys the COM substitution process instead of the explorer. read more
