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

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.

    Andre,

    Thanks Andre .. Just tried to access "C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\ ' through the "run' command, and was denied access with message, "Windows cannot access specified device, path or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access file." I am signed in as "Administrator' and when checking  Accounts, I am listed as Local Account and Administrator, and am signed in as Administrator. Why is my access denied if I am signed in as Administrator, and have should Full Authority to access any file?

    Thanks, 

    Andy Asmussen

    This worked and got rid of the ESENT 455.

    N File explorer click on window then on System 32 etc.. if the system tells you you don't have access ignore the message and continuen ych localright click and create new folder that you wil name TileDataLayer.  Then click on that folder (it will show it is empty) right click and open new folder that you will name Database.   That's all!
