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'm seeing this error in my Event Viewer as well, and I'm seeing it along with the one below every time I try to connect a SSD. I enabled hot plugging to troubleshoot because Windows was not seeing my the SSD, even though Bios was. Do you think this error or the line below could be causing Windows to not recognize my SSDs? The Warning below and the error from this thread always happened together.

100 per cent it looks like you are on a work domain with a GPO that prevents Windows from obtaining drivers from the Windows Update site. I would suggest you talk to your IT dept about two things. A) are you allowed to add external storage devices and B) if you are where are the drivers for this please

The problem with Data Security and shadow IT is a big issue and many companies will block adding drivers and prohibit external storage devices for this reason.

It looks like you’re encountering the “Metadata staging failed” error with the result code 0x80070490. This error can occur due to various reasons, such as incorrect registry entries, issues with Windows Update components, or third-party applications interfering with the process.

Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:

1. Check Registry Entries:
   • Open the Registry Editor by typing regedit in the Start menu and pressing Enter.
   • Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Device Metadata.
   • Ensure the entries are correct and make any necessary adjustments^1^.
2. Perform a Clean Boot:
   • This will help you determine if any third-party applications are causing the issue.
   • Follow the steps to perform a clean boot here^2^.
3. Update Windows and Drivers:
   • Ensure your Windows operating system and all drivers are up to date.
   • Sometimes updating the chipset driver and BIOS can resolve the issue^3^.
4. Change Internet Time Server:
   • Open the Control Panel and go to Clock and Region.
   • Select Date and Time, then go to the Internet Time tab and click Change settings.
   • Choose a different time server and click Update now^4^.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, you may need to seek further assistance from Microsoft Support or a professional technician. Let me know if you need any more help!

Graham, this is more than likely not related to this topic.

Open a new thread.

There is little evidence that the metadata issue causes crashes/reboot.

You probably need to open a new thread
