Windows 10: DeviceSetupManager Errors (Event IDs 131, 200, 201 & 202)

Hello, Googling this issue seemed a lot more common a few years back, including on this forum. I am getting the same errors and warnings every time I boot my PC, and whenever I click on ' Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers'. Error 131 says: "Metadata staging failed, result=0x80004005 for container '{BCEFC89E-D3A5-523C-8AFE-1FCBE940E186}'" Warning 200 says: "A connection to the Windows Update service could not be established." Warning 201 says: "A connection to the Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS) could not be established." Warning 202 says: "The Network List Manager reports no connectivity to the internet." I'm not even sure if this error is on my side or on Microsoft's side, is anyone else seeing these errors? Changing the time sync server didn't fix it. And changing the 'DeviceMetadataServiceURL' under 'Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Device Metadata' from it's default of "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=252669&clcid=0x409" to "http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=252669&clsid=0x409" or "http://dmd.metaservices.microsoft.com/metadata.svc" did not fix it either. Although all above links lead to an HTTP ERROR 400 page for me, so hey don't seem to work. Thanks for any help! -Windows 10 Education 21H1 64-bit

DeviceSetupManager event 201/202. Help needed to check/fix registry

Thanks aardvark. So on your system you do have all the same exact registry values as in the image posted above, but no Event ID 200, 201, and 202 errors, am I correct?

I have a Microsoft wireless mouse. I'll check the link and see if your suggestion works

 

DeviceSetupManager event 201/202. Help needed to check/fix registry


Following aardvark advise I got rid of Event 219 "The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device {C5A047D8-CB5B-40E9-B9E3-316AB06B5A18}\WirelessKeyboardFilter."

Yet errors with Event ID 200, 201, and 202 still persist. This is possibly because i did not select “Never install driver software from Windows Update” beforehand, and the system keeps checking for updated drivers as it is supposed to do. So, apparently, that is not a solution for the specific topic of this thread.

Can someone else please check his/her registry and see if these values for "Device Metadata" are correct? Do you have the exact same data as in the image below? The key is located at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Device Metadata."





I would also like to know if you are or are not experiencing Event ID 200, 201, and 202 errors. And if you altered the options in Device Installation Settings
