Windows 10: Getting a plethora of events, event Id 131: Metadata staging failed, result=0x80072EFE for...

Fresh install of Win 11, Also programs seem to hang, especially on startup.

Metadata staging failed, for Event ID:131

You didn't understand me, I'm using Windows 10 Professional 64bit, on which I have VMware Workstation installed (Forget I mentioned VMware, my OS is Windows 10 Pro 64bit)

Anyway, your way didn't work and the errors keep getting logged in the Event Viewer

Do you have any other suggestions on how to fix this error (Metadata staging failed, for Event ID:131) ?

 

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,

 

Error "0x80070490" in the Event Viewer. What are the reasons for its appearance?

Thank you for your answer!

As soon as I get access to a computer, I will follow the steps you wrote about and write whether my problem is solved. But, before that, I have one more question.

Errors that appear in the Event View: Metadata staging failed, result=0x80070490 for container and Metadata staging failed, result=0x80072EFE for container Event ID: 131

And also a warning: A connection to the Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS) could not be established. Event ID: 201

Could they be a synchronization issue on the Microsoft side? If so, will the errors and warnings be fixed soon?
