Event ID 455 ESENT error in Windows 10

I began seeing lots of these errors on multiple systems:

      Log Name: Application
      Source: ESENT
      Date: 8/4/2020 3:57:46 PM
      Event ID: 455
      Task Category: Logging/Recovery
      Level: Error
      Keywords: Classic
      User: N/A
      Computer: *redacted*
      Description:
      svchost (5512,R,98) TILEREPOSITORYS-1-5-18: Error -1023 (0xfffffc01) occurred while opening logfile
      C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\TileDataLayer\Database\EDB.log.

After a little research, it appears this is a Windows upgrade issue of some sort that is easily resolvable.

  • Open a command prompt as administrator. This should put you at a C:\Windows\System32> prompt
  • At the command prompt, type cd config\systemprofile\AppData\Local to change to the C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local directory
  • Now, type mkdir TileDataLayer to create the TileDataLayer directory
  • Type cd TileDataLayer to change into the TileDataLayer directory
  • Now, type mkdir Database to create the Database directory
  • Type exit to close the command prompt window

At this point, you should no longer see the error message appear in Event Viewer.
