How to fix Event ID 455 ESENT error in Windows 10 V1903?

I am getting  Event Error 'ESENT-455' multiple times since updating to Version 1903-Build18362.175. 

Description: (copied from event error log)

"svchost (15692,R,98) TILEREPOSITORYS-1-5-18: Error -1023 (0xfffffc01) occurred while opening logfile

C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\TileDataLayer\Database\EDB.log."

I found the thread at Web site, 'Known Issues for Windows 10 May 2019 Update version 1903'' addressing this specific problem, (https://www.tenforums.com/windows-10-news/133041-known-issues-windows-10-may-2019-update-version-1903-a-2.html#post1638963)

The found solution was," to go to Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\

Create the folder TileDataLayer then inside that folder create Database folder."

This issue was evidently a known problem and is created most likely when Cleaning up the old Version 1806, which I did after an initial few days of trial with Version 1903.

I cannot find file  "C: \Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\ when I run a search of "My PC', in Windows Explorer. Where am I supposed to look to find the file "Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local" , and how do I create new folders within that existing command (?)file,  and can this fix be explained more in terms a neophyte can understand, and will feel confident that I won't mess things up worse in trying to eliminate this recurring error?

Thanks

Andy Asmussen

I was having this same issue. Here's what I did to fix it (based upon some other replies in this thread):

Open a CMD shell as Administrator.

That started me off in c:\Windows\system32.

cd config\systemprofile\AppData\Local

mkdir TileDataLayer

cd TileDataLayer

mkdir Database

Since then I haven't seen the error message in the event viewer.

    .EDB files and .LOG files are part of the system JET database facility.

    It just so happens that Active Directory, and a lot of other services use the JET database for storage...

    So you will find all sorts of .EDB, .LOG, .JFS files scattered throughout a Win 10 system...

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-edb-file/amp

    Maybe that'll help. 

    That is referring to windows.edb. I am talking about edb.log, which is located in

    C:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\tiledatalayer\database, ie. the directory which is the subject of this whole thread.

    Edb.log is described by Microsoft (https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/servergeeks/2014/10/14/active-directory-files-and-their-functions/) as follows:

    Edb.log is a transaction log. Any changes made to objects in Active Directory are first saved to a transaction log. During non-peak times in CPU activity, the database engine commits the transactions into the main Ntds.dit database. This ensures that the database can be recovered in the event of a system crash.

    So my question still is: why is this file needed in a Home version of windows 10, which will never be used in an Active Directory environment?
