Metadata staging failed event 131

Let me make myself perfectly clear, I am only a casual user of computers & the internet & certainly no expert at diagnosing error messages. My previous response about not being overly concerned about this error message or most error messages is based on past experience. Usually patience & research pays off without going bananas & making radical changes to your system. Also the info in the Device setup manager admin. log shows that each device has been serviced, processed a task, wrote 34 properties, & gives the active worktime. This is exactly the same info this log is showing before the error messages began occurring on May 6th. This is what leads me to believe the required tasks are being performed even though metadata staging failure is occurring first. Remember, these actions all occur within milliseconds of one another.  My one concern is that the debug log never shows metadata staging jobs as complete & gives the status often as "hard error."

Hopefully, the problem is actually a MS url problem & will be resolved soon. Keep us informed.

Thanks for that, I am going to try a clean install tonight and see how I get on.  I have not come across the Driver Frameworks Critical Error, I will research this when I have a moment and if I find anything that may be positive I will post back.

Thanks again 

No problem mate and Good luck with the clean install.

Im having exactly the same issue on my PC with the metadata staging failed device manager errors and this was a clean installation. Other issues I was having also were Schannel Event ID 36888 TLS Protocol Errors repeated on a daily basis. I did several reinstalls but it made no difference. As soon as I went on the internet these errors appeared in batches of three...usually between 6 and 12 of them every day!!

Thankfully now though the Schannel errors have now stopped.

I don't know what is going on at Microsoft nowadays but with Windows 8/8.1 there is constantly problems in Event Viewer.

At one time I always downloaded all Windows Updates with extremely rarely any problems but Im scared to install the Optional Updates now.

Yes, I agree with you here, I have been seeing the SChannel errors on and off for a few months and certainly could not tie it down to any errors at my end, I assumed once again it was a Microsoft issue and as I did not want to constantly look at all these TLS errors, I turned off event logging for them.  If you want to know how to do this for future reference, just reply and I will send you the guide.

I like you rarely perform any windows updates now,  they simply wreck my system and I did decided from a personal point of view that a previous IE Cumulative Security Update was responsible for generating the SChannel errors, but over a period of time, further updates would appear to have cleared this issue.

IE being the only updates I did do stopped last month when the update locked everyone out of IE Gallery and refused to allow users to change search providers amongst other issues.  No more updates for me at present. 

As for the metadata error, I have 5 systems, one of which is a clean install and rest assured they are all suffering with the event id 131 illness at present.  I am in constant contact with Microsoft regarding this issue, and I am assured they are working on it.

I will keep you all posted on my progress. 

Thanks Mazda for your feedback. I too decided that the Schannel errors were linked to the Internet Security Update. Thankfully subsequent updates seem to have sorted it.

As for the TLS errors I don't want to turn off event logging as it only masks the problem really..though I can definitely understand why you've done it yourself. I researched the problem on the net and saw someone else has done the same thing.

As for the Windows Updates becoming very unreliable..the known problem with KB3022345 is the most annoying one of late. I stopped installing optional updates as that Update was causing corruption errors in SFC scans. Then Microsoft made it an important update so it was downloaded automatically (I thought Microsoft must have sorted the problem out with KB3022345). ..the problem is now back on my system. But what are you supposed to do when Microsoft changes it to an important update..so frustrating. Windows Updates has caused me loads of problems..this never used to happen. I used to think it was very reliable.

Thanks for your response, it is always helpful to know other users are suffering the same stress and Microsoft issues and it is not me loosing my marbles!

However, if you can remember or you can still see it in your event log, I would be very interested to know when the SChannel TLS errors stopped appearing, I thought mine had gone but faced them again yesterday but I have not done any IE Cumulative updates for a few months.  I just wondered if you had an idea of the date or month and I would give the IE Update a try for that month see if it clears my SChannel errors.  If you do not have this info in memory or to hand in the log do not worry but it may assist me in getting to the bottom of the TLS 40 issue even I cannot yet fix the metadata.

Cheers

Mine was a clean Windows8/8.1 Installation done on the 10/5/2015 and the most Schannel errors Ive had in any day has been two, most days just one, and none at all for the last two days if that helps you at all. Ive installed all the IE security updates. The only Windows Updates I haven't installed on my system at the moment are 10 Optional Updates.

One  Im having particular trouble with at the moment on a daily basis is a critical error, Driver  Frameworks User mode Event ID 10110 and 10115. Its related to the Windows Location Provider. That ones got me stumped because I don't seem to be having any issues..my computer is working fine.
