Multiple errors in Event Viewer: EventID 131 from DeviceSetupManager since September 12, 2014

Hi,

Thank you very much for your information and updates.

Today when opened my laptop /Windows 8.1/ have found again the same errors in the Event Viewer.

Moreover - in the Control Panel when opened Devices and Printers  such errors have been repeated

in the Event Viewer as well.

Hope this issue wil be solved soon.

Best regards,

Ewa

Hello Mazda,

Thanks for your information.  Would like to add as follows - when looked in Windows 7 in the Even Viewer there is not listed Device Setup Manager group of events, also in the Task Scheduler we can not find Device Setup.

So no errors from DSM can be found in Windows 7 ?

Have checked in registry Windows 7 and there is other DeviceMetadataServiceURL than in Windows 8.1 :  go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=109572&clcid=0x409

(in Window 8.1 there is 252669 ).

So this issuer regards only to Window 8.1 /or 8 ?

Would appreciate further news in this matter.

Thanks and best regards, Ewa

Hi

it would appear it is being seen in the test version of Windows 10 and some reports of it in Windows 7, I do not have a Windows 7 system operational to test at present.  However, it would also seem to be related to IE in some way, some users do not see it in IE11, do see it in IE10 and so on.  There also seems to be a time delay factor in the forwarding of the url as the task does indeed complete within seconds of the system generating event id 131 to say it has failed.

See updates in this Post: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-performance/metadata-staging-failed-event-131/a003b2a2-6238-48b3-94b2-3e68d87f4c91?page=3

We will get there, just not sure when?

Hello Robert,

Would like to add that when look into the Event Viewer - Application and Services - Microsoft - Windows - DeviceSeptupManager - Admin. there are listed the errors Metadata staging failed reg. seperate device and after there is the information that the same device has been served. So it looks as there is a delay in this service - firstly some errors are generated but finally the devices are served.                                        

Such issues in the Event Viewer have found when open the laptop and also after regular maintenence done.

The same result -errors have found after done following operation :

in Task Scheduler -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Device setup have run the Metadata Refresh task

and after this have checked the Event Viewer - get the same result errors as before.

What can be the reason of this erors - delays in service and how to fix it. There were some suggesions of register modification but not sure if it is so safety.

Such errors have benn found since May 5th-6th and not earlier.

Would appreciate for you comments.suggestions.

Best regards,

Ewa

Yes most certainly started my end 6th May on all 5 systems in the house.  I have already noted that like you say, if you follow the event through, it does actually complete but yes there is up to a minute time lag somewhere, the time lag is generating the error that the metadata staging failed and then it subsequently completes.  I have mentioned this in another post here:
