    Continues Errors at startup "Metadata staging failed"

    No problems on Windows 10 Pro x64. Have the original URL in the Registry. Congrats on being a father for the second time. I have two sons myself, all grown up.

    Continues Errors at startup "Metadata staging failed"

    I no longer get the error message on Windows 10 Final. I have the default URL http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=252669&clcid=0x409. If I recall correctly when I first installed Windows 10 I still got the error. Somewhere down the line I stopped getting them.

    Continues Errors at startup "Metadata staging failed"

    Upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1 and got the error. Changed the URL in the Registry but I still get the error. I haven't seen it at Windows startup. it showed up once after Windows was running for awhile. I'll keep an eye on it.

    So is the problem the server that is pointed to by the link in the Registry?

    Continues Errors at startup "Metadata staging failed"

    Tried Sammy's fix and it seems to work. The problem might lie in KB2919355. IF you Google it you'll see a lot of complaints that it is causing all sorts of problems.

    Yeah, I'm still getting what you are getting. I swear I wasn't getting them until today, maybe yesterday.

    I've never had a 400 bad request problem. Where is the hardware devices page you mentioned so I can do a refresh on it?

    Continues Errors at startup "Metadata staging failed"

    I took the easy way out and restored by system drive from a disk image I took before applying two of the updates. I didn't receive any errors so it's either KB3022345 or KB3048043 that's the cause. **** Most likely KB3022345 is the culprit Here is some more info on this patch: KB3022345...

    Continues Errors at startup "Metadata staging failed"

    This problem went away for me in September and today it came back. I did install three optional WU patches this morning. One of them must have reintroduced the problem. KB3022345 KB3048043 KB2919355 I'll uninstall them and see what happens.

    A related question. Outlook 2013 is my default mailto: program. When I click on such a link in Firefox it opens up Outlook in the create new mail screen with the recipients email address filled in. This is fine. The problem that I am having, which seems to be intended based on what I've been...

    I have my two monitors in extend mode under Windows 8.1.1. I also have the 14.9 AMD CATS. Here's my tiny problem. If I have a window on the right side that has a tooltip it extends ever so slightly onto my second monitor. Sometimes it a border shadow, other times I can see the actual right...

    Two Seagate Barracuda 3TB drives seem to be dead.

    The drives are out of warranty. PSU is not the problem AFAICT.

    Two Seagate Barracuda 3TB drives seem to be dead.

    My first drive 'died' about 4 months ago, my second one today. By 'died' I mean that with either drive hooked up my computer hangs at the BIOS/UEFI screen that has the message that F1 or Del will get you into setup. It stays there forever. Removing the drives restores things to normal. Today...

    Continues Errors at startup "Metadata staging failed"

    I set "Never install driver software from Windows Update" and "Automatically get the device app and info provided by your device manufacture" to UNCHECKED. Rebooted and got lots of Warnings about Windows Update and I think two other related things. I replaced a crap load of Errors with a...

    Continues Errors at startup "Metadata staging failed"

    Glad to see I'm not alone. As mentioned the problem came with the Windows Update on 9/9/14. I restored my system to before I applied the updates and had no problems. It seems the errors are not affecting anything so I just turn logging off for them. It's found in Event Viewer under...

    How to handle web sites on HiDPI displays.

    Probably most people run with High DPI monitors at 120 and above. This is a must if you have large widescreen monitors. Running at 'Normal (96dpi)' is not an option anymore as everything is to small to read on a widescreen monitor. Most web sites still use low resolution graphics for much of...

    What is causing these warnings in my Event Log?

    On a hunch I unplugged my router and cable modem then waited a minute or so and then plugged in the modem and finally the router. I rebooted and no more event log messages, for now.

    This PC - Add or Remove "Folders" in Windows 8.1

    I did a restart although when it worked I didn't need a restart. The only thing I can point a finger at is right before I ran the reg file I backed up my Registry. After seeing that the folders were still there I restored the Registry (needed a reboot) then I merged the reg files. Folders...

    I got it working Shawn after a couple of tries. Don't know why it didn't work the very first time.
