Hans, I have the same entry as you. I find it inconceivable that this problem remains unresolved by Microsoft Engineers after several months.

Is it really beyond them to work out the cause of it? I have 25 entries all with the same error. The computer is stable but it's odd this problem appears to have no impact. Is it a false positive?

If you check your Event Viewer under "Applications and Services Logs > Micrososft > Windows > DeviceSetupManager > Admin" you'll see a list of those errors, each of them followed by an informational entry that actually tells you what driver was supposed to get updated.

In my case, it's drivers on virtual servers and I'm not sure what I can do about the drivers that seem to need updates - but maybe you can get something out of that info and find the latest drivers for the devices - maybe that can help.

My system has been rebooting at least once or twice a day, usually when I'm not using it and usually when it's in sleep mode (but not always). Today I decided to check the event log and found this error over and over and over.

same here; been having constant full blackscreen 100% fan issues for WEEKS now and it's absolutely infuriating 🤬

I just cheeked my event viewer and I don't have any 131's. I believe this is what took care of it. https://pureinfotech.com/disable-automatic-driver-install-windows-11/#disable\_driver\_install\_windows11
