Port 1029 is frequently associated with Microsoft Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) communications. DCOM enables software components to communicate directly across networked environments, predominantly within Windows operating systems. While this port is unofficial and dynamic, it's commonly observed during remote procedure calls and system management activities.

A port number is not a service. Anything may listen on 1029 — what you actually met is decided by the host, not the registry. If a service is missing here, it belongs in the registry.
