Continues Errors at startup "Metadata staging failed"

got it today too; try time sync and second nist server, it's bla bla error appears on refresh devices and printers; added again redirect URL to registry "DeviceMetadataServiceURL"="http://dmd.metaservices.microsoft.com/dms/metadata.svc" and it fixed for me; no 131 error now
 
I guess Microsoft is really choosing to ignore this error. Just upgraded to Threshold 2 new Build 10586 (of Windows 10) this morning. Looks like it reset the registry entry again and loads of metadata errors in event log again.
 
I've just done a clean install of win 10 and i've noticed the event ID 131 in the error log.

I'm having an issue on win 10 with slow login, the dots spin about 9 or 10 times before it logs in which is really annoying.

Are other people experiencing the delayed login or is it just the error appearing?
 
No delay

I personally do not have a delay with logging in but event ID 131 is still with me persistently. Very annoying.

I understand what you mean about the spinning dots, but I do not have that issue.
 
Still no fix

Months into this issue now and constant emails and phone calls to Microsoft - one fix in October lasted one week - no response from Microsoft since. I think we need Sammy back on the case. More members need to contact Microsoft and make a stand or this issue will remain with us.
 
You Might Kick Yourself

I registered with the Windows Eight Forums to post what I think is the definitive fix for Event ID 131. The original address in the DeviceMetadataServiceURL is:

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

However, it should be:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=252669&clsid=0x409

Get it? clcid should be clsid.

I am using Windows 10 x64 Home and this change fixed everything for me. I should mention that after a single restart, the 131 errors were replaced with a few Warning events. Clearing the log and restarting a second time resulted in no errors or warnings. I have made this fix on three Windows 10 machines and all were fixed.

Hope this helps.
 
This has been going on for many months. It was repaired just before one update and then it started again. Since Microsoft does not seem to care I suppose I don't. It would be really unnerving if it was discovered these errors are actually causing system problems.
 
This is strange.

I have been involved with this from the very beginning as you can see from earlier posts. I have been running with the original replacement link provided by saammy (http://dmd.metaservices.microsoft.com/dms/metadata.svc) with no errors or problems. I have been running with this link in place for so long and have not thought about it until the last several posts. Just now I decided to check the registry and to my surprise, a new link was in place which I did not install. Microsoft â This must have been modified through an update or something but I have no idea as to when but I have not experienced any errors from it.

I am going to experiment with the various links to see what works and what doesn't and will get back.

The weird part is my other PC, which I don't use every day but has all the same updates as my desktop, still has the replacement from saammy. Go Figure

It looks like the last error I had for that event happened at 6:30 pm on 1/26..... Maybe I haven't done whatever is causing the errors, but it stopped before and started back up.

I also just registered to answer. Tried the original URL => "clcid=" and afterwards "clsid=" and only the second worked. Moreover, the .srv ending URL did not solve the problem for me. I got other Staging (Connection) Warnings instead. So the clsid= did it for me. Errors and Warning are gone no sideeffects noticed. My PC is on Win 10 Pro...thx!!

I made an interesting discovery. Apparently microsoft has changed something on the domain. Maybe someone of you can order what to do.

I have checked the path in the registry and this is the result.
The path is for Metdaten: go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=252669&clcid=0x409

I have the solution for the problem.
Searches on regedit for the following entry: DeviceMetadataServiceURL
There you change the URL in the following: http://dmd.metaservices.microsoft.com/dms/metadata.svc
after you have closed the editor is saved the change.
Now the problem is solved and it will also re-loaded device information.

Hats off to you friend thanks so much fresh installed last night nothing but globs or errors redid reg key and new link and followed Shawns tut on the app/store/sync updates not seeing nothing worth worrying about on reboots in event viewer now.

Thanks to you both for the hard work I been using Shawns methods since Win7 came out, I can tell you spent much time and has helped many, and many Thanks from me! :cool:
 
Hi all... I know this is a Win8 forum but I'm experiencing it on my Win10 and can't find a solution anywhere.
This thread seems the most serious one around this event 121 issue and this issue seems to be alive to this day.
I've tried all the suggestions in this thread but I'm still getting this issue.
I currently use this URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=252669&clsid=0x409

Did anyone resolve this?

I don't believe this issue is any closer to being resolved than it was when it returned. The only link I have had success with is the original link provided by Saammy http://dmd.metaservices.microsoft.com/dms/metadata.svc . I have been using this link without errors since September 2014 all other suggestions result in errors. I have no idea what is going on with this and I have basically given up hope that it will be resolved.
 
No Luck

As most of you will know, I invested several months working closely with Microsoft to get this issue fixed. It was indeed fixed in October 2015 a week before daylight saving kicked in. Following daylight saving, the error returned. I have had no response at all from Microsoft until yesterday when I was told 'support for windows eight ended 12th January' So it would appear that is it!

In the meantime, like many others I have found the one and only resolve is the alternative URL provided by saammy back in 2014.

If anyone finds any other resolve, do keep us posted.

Thanks to all who have contributed thus far.
 
It would appear, once again, following daylight saving, this error has magically gone away! I do not have it at present yet Microsoft told me the back end team were still working on the issue. In March we had a fix and then following daylight saving the metadata error returned.

I am not confident enough to go back to the original url on a permanent basis but at present, during testing, the error 131 metadata staging failed, is not showing up.

Anyone else tested this recently?
 
clcid means country language code list. 409 is the us language code so url should be true. clsid is a classidentifier a name for an object. completely wrong use.
http://dmd.metaservices.microsoft.com/dms/metadata.svc works for me.

Url not redirecting

I have spent over a year dealing directly with Microsoft on this issue as you will see from the forum notes. They still have not come up with a repair for this issue. However, stopping the url from trying to forward and redirect will solve your issue for you. Change the registry to: http://dmd.metaservices.microsoft.com/dms/metadata.svc. This will connect directly to refresh your Hardware without error logging. If you need any further assistance to change the url, please post back.
 
I have read thru this entire thread and have yet to find an answer to the 200,201,202 warnings. It's now December,2016 and I would hope Microsoft has some sort of fix , but not yet. Guess warnings are not harming anything and MS likes to keep us users feeling insecure and dependent on MS by having warnings in our event viewers! Oh, well...................doesn't matter, I guess.
