CHKDSK stuck at stage 4

Hi Michael

It is safe to force a shut down in Stage 4 or 5 of check Disk, but not in stages 1, 2 or 3

So if that is stalled and if there is no Disk activity showing on the hard drive LED on your PC, then press and hold the Power Button on your PC for 5 - 10 seconds to perform a Hard Shut Down, then wait a few seconds and start your PC to see if it boots correctly

Metadata Staging Errors

Hello,

I repeatedly notice errors in Event Viewer, every time I boot up(W10 Home 64bit).

I receive 7 "Metadata Staging" errors which all start with the following:-
Metadata Staging Failed, result= 0x80070490 for container

Each of the 7 errors begin with the above, followed by:-

1) {21070371-CC1B-11E5-9BE3-2C600CD59D4F}

2) {9C41A79B-CA9B-11E5-9819-B88687CE47A7}

3) {D316C339-CA99-11E5-9818-806E6F6E6963}

4) {00000000-0000-0000-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF}

5) {9C41A79C-CA9B-11E5-9819-B88687CE47A7}

6) {21070372-CC1B-11E5-9BE3-2C600CD59D4F}

7) {2107036B-CC1B-11E5-9BE3-2C600CD59D4F}

Fortunately, my pc seems to be working normally with all apps / programmes working normally. Are these errors universal on Windows 10 or do these errors only affect a few computers?

Many thanks to anyone who can enlighten me.

Kind Regards,

Rodney Coleman

Update on 2nd February 2016 (Content Added):

Hello,

Yesterday, I posted regarding 7 Metadata Staging Errors. I received a reply and I tried following the steps in an effort to resolve the situation. A clean boot was suggested by disabling Microsoft services etc. This I tried but it would not work. In trying
to disable services as suggested, I got no response and got the message "not responding". The only way I could get my laptop to work after this was to hold down the power button to shut down. The laptop did eventually shut down after about 15 minutes. I then
rebooted and all was fine.

All the "Metadata Staging" errors occur on two new acer laptops purchased last month. I have not modified any settings on either. These errors are identical on both. These errors usually occur soon after boot up. Both on Windows 10 Home 64 bit.

Windows Update is working normally and all updates are installing correctly. In spite of the above errors, both latops are performing brilliantly. I have not suffered any loss of functionality whatsoever.

I do believe in the phrase:- "If it ain't broken, don't fix it". I am currently resigned to leaving things as they are, unless anyone has any further suggestions.

Any suggestions??

My hard drive LED is sometimes blinking, but sometimes is lit for short time. So it is safe to shut down?
