Windows 10: Event ID 131 Metadata errors happening lately.

So I'm getting these the past couple of days recently.

Metadata staging failed, result={00000000-0000-0000-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF} for container '0x8007000D'

Metadata staging failed, result={9C52FEAA-DABE-5636-BEC0-AFDCA171FDBD} for container '0x80070057'

Thing is that I don't know if it has to do with Microsoft or maybe my internet.

These errors happen both on my Windows 10 desktop and my Windows 8.1 laptop. Also for both of them if I go to devices and printers these errors will happen every time I bring it up? Is this happening to anyone else?

:)

 

Metadata staging failed - Event ID 131


Good morning,

Ever since I upgraded my computer to Windows 10 (Home) 64-bit a few months ago from Win 8.1 I have discovered the following Event ID 131 error in Event Viewer, sometimes as many as five times in a row, after restarting or upon booting up:

Metadata staging failed, result=0x80070490 for container '{1959BB49-AC94-11E5-AE34-3010B356F6E6}'

After googling for a few hours I did find a forum (TechNet) where this error was attributed to 'timing' and that Microsoft was aware of it.

A couple workarounds were given until Microsoft comes up with the fix. One workaround given was changing the time from 'Windows-time' to 'time-nist.gov'. However, even though it worked for some folks, it didn't stop the error in my Event Viewer.

I am just wondering if anyone on this forum has experienced the same Event Viewer error and maybe found a way to stop it from occurring.

Thanks and regards,

 

Event Error 131-DeviceSetupManager-Metadata staging failed

I have recently been besieged with numerous 'Event Viewer Errors 131- Metadata staging failed.' These errors just appeared for the first time three days ago, and have logged over 100 same events since.

Following an earlier thread, for this same complaint ( DeviceMetadataServiceURL Event 131) the 'DeviceMetaDataServiceURL' ,
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=252669&clcid=0x409, was found to be incorrect. Web search of this link proved to show an invalid and security threat location. Changing the URL location to http://dmd.metaservices.
microsoft.com/dms/metadata.svc, was given as the solution, and evidently had given some users good results. It has not worked for me, and a Web search of the new URL,
http://dmd.metaservices.microsoft.com/dms/metadata.svc leads to a '404 Not Found' response, and suggestion to clear the DNS cache. Cache was cleared, but URL still led to "404 Not Found' result. What is the correct 'DeviceMetdataServiceURL'?

While it has been proposed that this is more of a nuisance error, than a major problem, and all other programs and computer functions are working well, the amount of Event Errors 131, is frustrating and bothersome. I have run the SFC checker, DISM
/Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth through the Administration PowerShell, all to no avail. Also a 'Clean Boot' was systematically followed, with no problems noted.

My current version of Windows 10, is Version 1903, (OS Build 18362.356), with the latest Cumulative Update (KB 4515384), and .NET Framework Update (KB 4514359), being recently installed, along with Store Updates for numerous Apps. I mention
these updates as that is the only recent change made to the OS, prior to the appearance of a multitude of DeviceSetupManager - Metadata Setup failures.

Any help or suggestions regarding this issue, would be appreciated ... sans doing a 'Clean Install' or a 'Repair Upgrade from Windows 10 ISO file', as my ISP connection is very..very slow .. and this issue is not terminal .. at least not yet.. A copy
