Metadata staging failed errors at startup and in Devices and Printers!

I've found quite a few event id 131's now from 21st-26th Dec e.g. Metadata staging failed, result=0x80070490 for container '{4CA76FD6-522C-11ED-8B45-28D244EC7015}' Seems quite a common report and nothing you can fix. As you suggest, more likely server-side related. E.g. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/an...0070490-0x8007 There is some interesting detail and maybe a fix (?) from here: Metadata staging failed eventually to here: Continues Errors at startup "Metadata staging failed" | Page 2 | Windows 8 Help Forums However that link address is in a post from 2014, so treat as indicative rather than applicable now.
