Metadata staging failed, result=0x80070490 for container '{564E4238-4832-4447-5633-5CB9010C3444}', DeviceSetupManager id 131.' If you happen to know what this means, please help me with this error

i think i have the exact same problem. do you see the same errors and warning in the event vieuwer every time it happens aswell? (for me its often about 25+ events)

when i go under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Device Metadata i only have the (default) folder with no set value. is this something i should be worried about?

TY1 Disabling the device installation settings immediately improved my laptop's performance. It has been running very slow lately.

Windows Server 2022 that I administer has been struggling with this problem from time to time. The problem disappeared after uploading a large patch, then again for a month without any problems. After a month it came back again, now I applied your solution and restarted the server. Bingo! No error occurred.

Same problem here!

I tried a lot of things posted here and nothing. Then my chrome started being unstable. Uninstalled and reinstalled chrome. A few hours later, I realized the error audio notification had stopped. I opened event viewer, custom views then administrative events. Scrolled back and verified--- the errors stopped after chrome was reinstalled.

I don't know what prompted the error but reinstalling chrome solved the problem in less than 5 minutes. Hope this helps someone.
