Event 131 – Metadata staging failed

Print 🖨

Upgrading my Windows 7 notebook to Windows 10 and looking the Event Log, I noticed several:

Event 131 - Metadata staging failed

My investigations took me to this forum thread:

http://www.eightforums.com/bsod-crashes-debugging/53670-continues-errors-startup-metadata-staging-failed.html

From this thread, I discovered that this problem is probably something about the device drivers telemetry.

Someone (on page 2) discovered that the problem is the target URL that seems to be outdated.

To fix it, open the Registry Editor and:

  1. go to: 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Device Metadata
  2. select: 
    DeviceMetadataServiceURL
  3. up to now, this item should have the following value: 
    http://dmd.metaservices.microsoft.com/dms/metadata.svc

    In a ground-zero Win10 1803 installation (not affected by this problem), I also found this other value:

    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=252669&clcid=0x409
  4. close and reboot
