No way to change dwClsContext parameter to CoCreateInstance #192

I got 0x8004_0154 (Class not registered) when trying to create an instance of DesktopWallpaper with CLSID C2CF3110-460E-4FC1-B9D0-8A1C0C9CC4BD, where the interface is IDesktopWallpaper (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/shobjidl_core/nn-shobjidl_core-idesktopwallpaper).
Upon experimenting in C++, I found that creating such instance requires dwClsContext of CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER instead of CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER. I am wondering whether it is possible to customize how we want to create an instance, or can we use CLSCTX_ALL for better compatibility.
